manually force delete a mailbox

[Robert Scussel]

is spool/user/graeme.mercurycload.net present ( graeme^mercurycloud^net 
-- not sure on the way it is on disk )?


Sounds like some sort of fs error. If you can do nothing else, and it is 
present, try moving the current directory out of the way, and recreating 
  the directory and then run reconstruct then delete....

Of course there is always the method of dump mailboxes.db file, edit, 
reimport, but that won't necessarily solve the underlying cause of your 
problem, just give you a quick fix to get rid of the mailbox.
