Something to remember is that you cannot change the username while the
user is logged in.  Also, if you want to makesure that anhy mail that was
going to A is now sent to B then you can put an alias in the /etc/aliases.
However, if you latter add a user A then all the mail will be forwarded to
B.  See man aliases
