I'm running with Imail 6.03.  I have downloaded the adduser.exe command 
from the Ipswitch website.  What I want to do is to be able to rename a 
user's account.  For example, change the user from fred.bloggs to joe.bloggs.

I have not been able to find a way to do this with the adduser command.  As 
a result I have attempted the following:

When a user submits a form, requesting to change their mailbox, a perl 
script executes, and this is what happens...

Check that new username is available (see if adduser fails to add new user)
If it is available, create a new user.
Copy users mailboxes from old dir to new dir.
Remove Old account (use adduser -k)
Attempt to delete the old users dir.

This works with the accounts, however, I can't delete the old users 
dir.  The command returns that the folder is in use by another process.  I 
imagine that this is the case because the form is submitted while the user 
is still logged into Imail.

Could anyone suggest a solution to this problem please?  Perhaps a way of 
logging off a user and then proceeding to run my perl script?

Many thanks in anticipation of your help.

Regards

Roland
