You're right!
I didn't know this need to be executed under cyrus user...
As root it won't work as expected.

I have unixhierarchysep=yes but queries need to be named like:
cyrus at dev:~$ /usr/sbin/ipurge -f -d 10 user/miro.md/Test

In contrast to the root execution i see results of this query!

cyrus at dev:~$ /usr/sbin/ipurge -f -d 10 user/miro.md/TEST
Working on user.miro^md.TEST...
total messages                   1
total bytes                      90459
Deleted messages                 0
Deleted bytes                    0
Remaining messages               1
Remaining bytes                  90459

Thanks!
