Root doesn't matter.  The cyrus user needs permission to delete.
This is a safety feature.   sam user.satimiscyrus cyrus all

It did what you asked, but I don't think you asked for what
you wanted.

This looks correct.  Note:
(1) Cyrus user.satimiscyrus = filesystem user/satimiscyrus
(2) Cyrus user/satimiscyrus = filesystem user^satimiscyrus
(3) is not a Cyrus mailbox

I would expect mail addressed to satimiscyrus to end up in (1).

(2) is not a user mailbox.  It could work as a bboard mailbox but
that's not what you want in this case.
