Currently, I use domain  @tvbh.com -- I want to change @abc.com but Maildir user1@tvbh.com --> user1@abc.com not change anything : password, Inbox, sent items, ....

Re: Replace new domain , Maildir , webmail don't change.

How about assign your new domain as an alias domain to the old one?

If you have iRedAdmin-Pro installed, you can easily manage alias domains in domain profile page. Screenshot for your reference:

If you don't have iRedAdmin-Pro, please add it with MySQL command line too manually. For example:

# mysql -uroot -p
mysql> USE vmail;
mysql> INSERT INTO alias_domain (alias_domain, target_domain) VALUES ('new.com', 'old.com');

Then user 'user1@old.com' will have a new addition email address: user1@new.com. Mails sent to them will be delivered to same mailbox, and all current settings (password, inbox, sent items) won't be changed.

This is not a solution since a user might want to move host the other domain and its mail elsewhere. Some one needs to write a tutorial on how to simply move emails via ssh without using imap clients.

Then you need to copy the mailbox to new server directly. (you didn't mention this kind of movement in your post.)
