What does the mailbox look like in the output of cyr_dbtool on the frontend and the backend?, and does it 'fix' the problem if you delete it manually on the frontend with cyr_dbtool? Here's a usage example: cyrus@mail:/var/spool/imap$ file /var/lib/imap/mailboxes.db /var/lib/imap/mailboxes.db: Cyrus skiplist DB cyrus@mail:/var/spool/imap$ cyr_dbtool /var/lib/imap/mailboxes.db skiplist show user.test1234 user.test1234 (uniqueid 6ebe0fe04dad935f) 0 default test1234 lrswipkxtecda user.test1234.trash (uniqueid 638c3a464dad9368) 0 default test1234 lrswipkxtecda cyrus@mail:/var/spool/imap$ cyr_dbtool /var/lib/imap/mailboxes.db skiplist get 'user.test1234.trash' (uniqueid 638c3a464dad9368) 0 default test1234 lrswipkxtecda cyrus@mail:/var/spool/imap$ cyr_dbtool /var/lib/imap/mailboxes.db skiplist delete 'user.test1234.trash' cyrus@mail:/var/spool/imap$ cyr_dbtool /var/lib/imap/mailboxes.db skiplist get 'user.test1234.trash' -- Dan White ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://www.cyrusimap.org/ List Archives/Info: http://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/info-cyrus/
