Need to clear out old email accounts on 10.4 server

[Demani]

There are a bunch of old accounts still in the mail store directory, but the backups are getting a little unwieldy. I need to pull out those accounts. The accounts were all deleted from Workgroup Manager. Can I just pull out the directories manually, or do I need to use cyradm to remove those to make sure cyrus doesn’t get all screwed up?

greetings check if the user info is still in the data base, stop cyrus, remove the account, remove files, start cyrus.

dscl /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1/ -read Users/johndoe

serveradmin stop mail

dscl /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1/ -delete Users/johndoe

rm -Rf /var/spool/imap/Users/johndoe

serveradmin start mail

using mailbfr to repair db may be useful if the folders reappear
