Change mailbox name

There seems to be an error in the mv command of the vmail directory when changing the name of a mailbox:

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create a mailbox mbox1@domain.tld a maildir direcotry /var/vmail/domain.tld/mbox1 is created - so far so good

  2. Update mailbox to mbox2@domain.tld the directory mbox1 is not renamed to mbox2 but is moved into directory mbox2 i.e. the directory structure is: /var/mail/domain.tld/mbox2/mbox1/

if the command in line 119 is changed to exec('mv -f '.escapeshellcmd($data['old']['maildir']).'/* '.escapeshellcmd($data['new']['maildir'])); //note the aditional / the move is executed correctly - BUT the old dir is not deleted (because the mv command does not move the "invisible" .ispconfig_mailsize rmdir() fails)

Maybe it would be a better solution to move the whole directory, instead of the content i.e. mv -f /var/mail/domain.tld/mbox1 /var/mail/domain.tld/mbox2

instead of mkdir -p /var/mail/domain.tld/mbox2 mv -f /var/mail/domain.tld/mbox1/* /var/mail/domain.tld/mbox2 rmdir(/var/mail/domain.tld/mbox1)
