  Hi folks.  Our mail server's spools are structured like this:

  /var/mail/<domain>/<user>

  We have an existing user with a lot of mail that we need to move from one domain to another.  Our mail system is database-backed so changing the account is trivial, but can I just move the <user> directory from the structure above from one <domain> directory to another and expect everything to be ok?  Or is there a better approach? (of course I'll do a backup first)

I probably should've mentioned that the only thing that touches the spools is dovecot; I'm using dovecot's lda for receiving mail.
