Questions on cyrus config directory...

[Jason Williams]

Hello everyone.

I was playing around today with my cyrus test server. Basically, trying my 
best to learn the ins and outs of it before I go live with the server.

Anyway, my config directory is /var/imap

I was looking around in there today, checking out the stuff that resides in 
the mailbox.
While in there, I noticed something that struck me as odd: (at least I 
thought it was odd :) )

Here is what I was looking at:

obsidian# pwd
/var/spool/imap/user/jwilliams


obsidian# ls -la

drwx------  3 cyrus  cyrus    512 Jan 29 14:56 .

-rw-------  1 cyrus  cyrus    596 Jan 29 14:56 cyrus.index

This is my test account. What I found as odd or what I dont understand 
(yet) is that it shows I have 10 messages in here. I was doing testing 
earlier, sending messages to myself testing both cyrus and postfix as well 
as other thing to ensure everything was working. However, once I completed 
my testing, I deleted the emails using my mozilla client and then proceeded 
to empty the trash...

obsidian# ls -l Trash/
total 6
-rw-------  1 cyrus  cyrus    4 Jan 29 14:56 cyrus.cache
-rw-------  1 cyrus  cyrus  163 Jan 29 14:56 cyrus.header
-rw-------  1 cyrus  cyrus   76 Jan 29 14:56 cyrus.index

But I am confused as to why it is still showing 10 messages still in the box?
Granted, im still learning cyrus and have much to learn, but can someone 
explain to me what is going on here?

I appreciate the help.
