What do you mean by cleared out? Is this an empty spool? Since cyrus-imapd
2.2 creates directories in /var/spool/imap on the fly as needed, this
structure is no longer part of the rpm package.

IIRC the docs clearly say that you shouldn't do that. Your mailboxes.db
file exists but is empty, which is not okay even if the database is empty.
