Can't delete cyrus mailbox?

[Alain Spineux]

I imagine you know cyrus advise against admin account having mailbox !
Is "cyrus" and admin account in imapd.conf ?

Maybe you could try to create a second admin account in imapd.conf,
give him a password
and use this account to remove the "cyrus" mailbox.

OR

dump the mailboes list using ctl_mboxlist, remove any reference to cyrus milbox
and then restore the modified configuration. Finally remove the
remaining directory manually


Regards
