I imagine you know cyrus advise against admin account having mailbox ! Is "cyrus" and admin account in imapd.conf ? Maybe you could try to create a second admin account in imapd.conf, give him a password and use this account to remove the "cyrus" mailbox. OR dump the mailboes list using ctl_mboxlist, remove any reference to cyrus milbox and then restore the modified configuration. Finally remove the remaining directory manually Regards On Nov 28, 2007 4:12 PM, Leon Kolchinsky <leonk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > Hello All, > > > > > > I've moved my old mail server to a new hardware and everything is > > working > > > fine.
