No personal familiarity with the specifics, but...

*Most* virtual-user tools that I have used require a separate
action to remove a former user's directory. It is not going to
ba accessable anyway until it is transferred (or something...)

This is generally a 'safer' approach than knee-jerk removal, as
it provides for reinstating a terminated account or conveying
the contents to a new user, as is often needed in a corporate
environment where the mail address/user is associated with a
function, department, or 'role' and continuity of client
communications is desired.
