How to delete a mailbox ?

[Rob Tanner]

Pascal,

The admin user needs permissions to delete the box.  In one sense it
seems rather dumb to require that when all you as the admin user have
to do is the command "setacl user.test0 cyrus all" to give yourself the
permissions (you actually only need the delete right).  But I've found
cases where I deliberately removed the the admin user rights on some
mailboxes so that I couldn't accidently do something with them.
