Convert mail-only account to ssh account?

Convert mail-only account to ssh account?

I need to transition a user from having a mailbox-only to an account with shell access (to implement SpamAssassin). What's the most sensible route? I'm thinking:

1) Download all mail (from IMAP folders)
2) Delete the mailbox
3) Create a new user and re-create the same named mailbox
4) Restore (some of the) previously downloaded mail

Any pitfalls?

I think you have it pretty well covered; the way you describe is the way I would go about it. wink
