Depends.

The cp command will *overwrite* settings and mail in the newusername
account, for example Inbox. This might not be a good idea, if you
already use this newusername account with Evolution (as you seem to do).

The chgrp command may fail, if the newusername account has a default
group different from the user name (for example 'users').
