Our boss here is big on acronyms for user ID's and email names, so all of our users have a three to five letter name. He would like to make a change to one of them, i.e., currently, the user's ID is "xyz" and the email is xyz@mywork.com. He now wants her user ID changed to "abc" and email changed to abc@mywork.com. I know that I can change the user name in Server Management so that it displays the change, and also set up the new email address as the Primary SMTP address and keep the old email address as a secondary SMTP so that any mail to ther former email address still gets to her. 

 Is there a way to change the actual user name/email name without losing any data, permissions or email? Should I create the new user and email from scratch and import the email from the old mailbox?

 

Thanks,
