...sorry, apparently, there is something even more weird going on. The mailbox
does not exist on the Murder frontend, but some traces of it appear to exist on
the backend:

i16.mappi.helsinki.fi> info "DELETED.user.<censored>.BIOMEDICUM.Matkat 2012.06-20.Untitled Folder.4F17D602"
{DELETED.user.<censored>.BIOMEDICUM.Matkat 2012.06-20.Untitled Folder.4F17D602}:
  partition: nkpd
i16.mappi.helsinki.fi> 

I'll get back on this when I get more info about what is happening here.
