Here are some idea:

mbpath: converte a mailbox name into a filesystem path


# mbpath user/alain.spineux at mydomain.loc
/kolab/var/imapd/spool/domain/m/mydomain.loc/a/user/alain^spineux

now if I stop imapd and chnage the hashing config in imapd

# mbpath user/alain.spineux at mydomain.loc
/kolab/var/imapd/spool/domain/mydomain.loc/user/alain^spineux


OR

you can move away all your mailboxe's spool
and use ctl_mboxlist and/or cyreconstruct to recreate the good
filesystem structure for all mailbox,
and then move everythin you have in your moved spool.

OR rename/remove one by one
