Yeah - ok.  So the DELETED item is still in the mailboxes.db, but the files on
disk have been deleted.  Can you send your imapd.conf(s) - and any syslog from
the time that the folders got deleted?

I wonder if cyr_expire is running with the wrong configuration, so it's not
talking to the mupdate server when it removes folders?

(I see from your other messages that you've worked around the problem - but I'd
like to know if it's going to keep happening too!)

Thanks,

Bron.
