However, if this is fixed then you will just get told 'unable to open/lock mailbox user.foo.subfolder'. I have virtdomains enabled and use: unexpunge -l fiddaman.net\!user.xxx.mailing_lists.cyrus for example, which works fine. Not sure what you do for the default domain or with virtdomains disabled, maybe try '\!user.foo.subfolder' ? HTH.
