moving mailboxes to another spool without stopping service

[LALOT Dominique]

Thanks for you answer. I tested through cyradm an was able to do the trick.
renm user.test user.test spoolX
moves user.test to another spool.

I sent a mail and consulted the mbox using imp/horde while doing the move
and saw nothing bad.

Good job!

Thanks

Dom
