If you have deleted mailbox retention turned on in Exchange and you delete
her account, you should be able to reattach the mailbox after you recreate a
new account. The deleted mailbox should be retained by the system for at
least 15 days by default. Consider exporting all of her messages to a PST
first (and testing it), just in case.
The new account, even though named exactly the same as the old, will be
considered by the system as a different account. You'll have to remove the
old account and add the new in any ACL, public folder permissions, etc.
This could potentially be a lot of work, and possibly invite some confusion
as well.
Can you give a more detailed description of the problem you're having? It
seems strange that something in a domain account would be effecting software
on a workstation, and that it would be something you can't correct with a
setting rather than deleting the account.

want to use the same login name as before, as this is her email name by
default and we don't want to change that too.
