    I’ve got a user with a corrupt IMAP mailbox. I managed to recover the messages, and now i just want to toast that thing. When I use cyradm and do this command:

    dm user/username/mailbox

    it gives me this back:

    deletemailbox: Mailbox has an invalid format

    I tried just tossing the directory; of course that didn’t work. I also restored from a backup from the day before the corruption occured, acted the same as when I deleted it. Anyone have any advice?

    For now, I’ve just told the user not to click on that folder…

    Total stab in the dark, but have you tried reconstructing the corrupted mailbox before deleting it?

    I tried the cyradm command reconstruct user/username/mailbox. It flipped right to the next command prompt. No love.
