Hello,

Not my confusion, I think Cyrus IMAP got confused. I'm using version 2.3.11 
(x86_64).

I am using Cyrus in virtual domains mode.  Recently I was testing my web admin. 
program and added a user at a virtual domain I was hosting. Let's call it 
vdom.com and the user r...@vdom.com. Once I finished testing I could not delete 
the user, or rename it and so on.

After playing around I found that I had to remove a global admin called root. 
restart Cyrus, and then I could delete the user with a different global admin.

So, what it looks like is that Cyrus is confusing a virtual name with a global 
admin name. Now, if I had an admin called r...@vdom.com then it would all make 
sense but my only admin called root was global.

So, the problem is solved and I have since made it impossible for users to 
create top level mailboxes (I still let them for child mailboxes on the 
assumption this will be fine) with the names of any global admins. but I 
thought you might like to know this in case it's not by design.
