The unexpunge command was the first thing I tried and I read it's man 
page. But what puzzles me is that it seems that the deleted mailboxes 
are not shown in unexpunge commands output.

The mailbox meta files and mailbox's messages are shown in the spool dir 
under the DELETED prefix eg. in the directory:
/cyrus_spool/u/DELETED/user/foo/sent-mail/HEXSTRING/

What is the correct procedure the restore this mailbox so that user is 
able see the messages and access it once again.
