       Given a mailbox name or a space separated list of mailbox names, relocate_by_id relocates the mailbox and
       its submailboxes to directory trees hashed by mailbox id rather than hashed by mailbox name.

       relocate_by_id  reads  its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file unless specified otherwise
       by -C. It uses <configdirectory>/mailboxes.db to locate the mailboxes on disk.
