We have also seen this problem. We fixed it by running: cyradm> sam user.username.INBOX.* cyrus c cyradm> dm user.username.INBOX.* If you are running delayed deletes for mailboxes, you will need to then delete all the subsequent DELETED mailboxes that get generated. This problem actually generated a few errors[1] and prevented us from running the "quota" command on the IMAP server[2] until the mailbox was deleted. Regards, Dave.
