After some experimentation I've found that sub mailboxes behave as
expected but if the top-level mailbox is delayed deleted on the master
it is immediately deleted on the replica.

I've tried enabling the "allowusermoves" on the master and replica to
allow the account to be renamed but this has not worked.

Is this the expected behaviour for the top-level mailbox or is there a
way around this?

Thanks
Guy
