I did 'ctl_mboxlist -d > mboxlist.txt' and found all the mailbox names
in mboxlist.txt are valid. The old mailbox names only appear in the
/usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/quota command output. In this case, I guess, I just
need to do the last two steps ('rm /var/lib/imap/user/?/*username*' and
'rm /var/lib/imap/quota/?/*username*') and can do them while services
are still on, . Am I right?

I'm in the process of migrating from uw-imap servers to cyrus servers. I
cloned my second cyrus server from the first one and forgot to
initialize the database. My second machine is in production. I found the
first machine's accounts are on the second one and I can not delete them
because the mail store is gone. Does anybody know if there is any force
delete option to clean up this?
The following is how I've done it on an OSX Server. Anyone else have a
better method?
- su - cyrusimap
- ctl_mboxlist -d > ~/mboxlist.txt
- cp ~/mboxlist.txt ~/mboxlist.bak
- edit ~/mboxlist.txt and remove lines containing this user.
- cp /Volumes/GroupWare\ Data/mail_datqbase/mailboxes.db ~
- rm /Volumes/GroupWare\ Data/mail_datqbase/mailboxes.db
- cat ~/mboxlist.txt | ctl_mboxlist -u
- rm -rf /var/spool/imap/username
- rm /var/lib/imap/user/?/*username*
- rm /var/lib/imap/quota/?/*username*
