If this all still fails you will need to use ctl_mboxlist as the cyrus
user to remove the mailbox from mailboxes.db.  You can then just delete
the mailbox directory and the mailbox is gone.


cp mailboxes.db mailboxes.db.bak
ctl_mboxlist -d > tempfile
edit tempfile and remove bad mailbox line
rm mailboxes.db
ctl_mboxlist -u < tempfile

Hope that helps,
