Renaming A User

[Patrick Radtke]

there is a proc directory in your cyrus folder that lists which users  
are logged in through which imap process.
You can look in there. You might also want to check if the user has  
any shared mailboxes that other users are accessing.

As for preventing the user from logging you can temporarily disable  
their password (at least thats what we've done with kerberos)
