If this all still fails you will need to use ctl_mboxlist as the cyrus user to remove the mailbox from mailboxes.db. You can then just delete the mailbox directory and the mailbox is gone. cp mailboxes.db mailboxes.db.bak ctl_mboxlist -d > tempfile edit tempfile and remove bad mailbox line rm mailboxes.db ctl_mboxlist -u < tempfile Hope that helps, Brad ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
