The mailboxes.db file holds the information about all users' mailboxes.
You will need to use ctl_mboxlist to dump the contents of mailboxes.db
to a text file.  Then you can edit the text file removing the unwanted
fodlers and reload it to mailboxes.db with ctl_mboxlist.  Make sure you
move the original (back it up first) mailboxes.db out of the way before
re-loading your text file or it will just add to the mailboxes.db.

Hope that helps,
