With expunge_mode: delayed we use unexpunge -l 
user/john.doe/some/folder at example.org today -- iow, no need to know the 
uniqueid there.

If something does require us to 'cd' in to the mailbox or 'grep' some 
hierarchy, we use the mbpath utility (despite the outcome being 
predicable for a default installation, it is not so much with 
fulldirhash enabled).

With delete_mode: delayed we use kolab list-deleted-mailboxes (giving 
you the original path and a humanly readable datetime of the deletion).

Kind regards,
