Mailbox Directory Names have to match Alias?

We are planning an upgrade from Exchange 5.5 (NT Domain) to Exchange 2003 with AD.

I have been told by my boss that I have to export/delete/recreate over 150 mailboxes because the directory name does not match the Alias name.

For example:
Kathy Jones got married so her new email address and alias is Kathy.Smith. But her original directory has the old name of kathy.jones.

My boss was told that these kinds of mismatches will fail when we upgrade. Is this true? And if so, what is the most painless way to modify or change these?
