In Cyrus 1.5 - 1.6 you used "reconstruct -r" to rebuild the mailboxes files.
For 2.0.x, I believe this is currently broken for the mailboxes.db file.
What you will need to do is dumb the mailboxes.db file to a file and then
edit that file to remove the deleted folder.
1. Run ctl_mboxlist -d > mboxlist.temp to dump existing mailboxes.
2. Remove mailboxes.db file: rm mailboxes.db
3. Edit mboxlist.temp to remove the folder
4. Run ctl_mboxlist -u < mboxlist.temp to change the contents of
mailboxes.db.
