Swapping email accounts

Hi all,

I've got a client who insists on doing some thing the really hard way.

My client has all their users logon to the domain as User1, User2, User3,
etc... But each user's email address and mailbox is their first initial,
last name: JDoe@xxxxxxxxxxx, MSmith@xxxxxxxxxxx, etc. Now, here's the
problem. The company has decided that User1, JDoe, needs to swap computers
with User2, MSmith. Now that they've done that, they find that when User1
logs on to User2's former computer, User1 gets MSmith's email, and when
User2 logs on to User1's old computer User2 get's JDoe's email. Big
surprise, right?

Of course, the simple thing to do would have JDoe continue logging on as
User1 on this "new" computer, and have MSmith logon as User2 on her new
computer... But that would be too simple. What they want is to keep the
User ID associated with the computer, so anyone logging on the that first
computer would always logon as User1...

So, what I would like to know is how one goes about "swapping" email
accounts, so that MSmith can logon to the first computer as User1, but get
her email, and the same thing with JDoe, when he logs on as User2...

I guess what I'm asking is, "is there a way to disassociate a mailbox from
the AD account, then reassociate it with a different one?"

Thanks in advance,

Mark
