Mailbox administration in cyrus

[Dr. Peer-Joachim Koch]

Hi,

I have admin (cyrus) rights on the mailbox.

The solution in this case is a

     dm user.USERNAME.*

this seems to remove everything from user USERNAME without the risk
deleting some similar named user  (...USERNAME* can cause some trouble).

Thanks, Peer
