Hello,
I think you are getting caught on two things.
The IMAP protocol itself has this concept of an "inbox". In cyrus, the user's inbox folder name is usually user.<username>, where <username> is replaced with the id of the person logging in.
Second, anyone, including the admin user, must be granted explicit rights to delete a folder. This minimizes mistakes/accidents.

Hi there,
Again I rely on you. In cyradm I created a mailbox to solve another problem (posted before and not yet solved: bringing back the special mailboxes).
I logged in to cyradm as cyrus. I created the folders user.hans.INBOX, user.hans.INBOX.Sent and user.hans.INBOX.Drafts.
Since this did help with my problem of missing special folders I want to delete them again e.g. using "dm user.hans.INBOX.Sent". cyradm sais "Permission denied". When logging in as user hans and doing a "dm INBOX.Drafts" I get "Invalid mailbox name". This also is the case when trying to access/delete this folders by a client (KMail).
Doing a "dm INBOX" as user hans I get "Operation is not supported on mailbox". A "lm" as user hans gives me (beside others) two INBOX folders
INBOX (\HasChildren) and
INBOX (\Noinferiors)
INBOX.Drafts (\HasNoChildren)
INBOX.Sent (\HasNoChildren)
Can anybody help in order to get rid of those folders?
Best regards
Stefan
