I  tried  listing  all mailboxes with 'ctl_mboxlist -d' and it doesn't
show  any  top level INBOX'es. But I see 'user.cyrus' mailbox. I tried
to   create additional subfolder under INBOX.test and ahh.. it appeared
under  'user.cyrus.test'.  So you are probably right. My admin user is
indeed 'cyrus'.

So my next questions are:
a) can you confirm that such special INBOX exist in every Cyrus system
for  admin  user  and  I  just  probably  had  it  too before creating
"INBOX.Spam"?

b)  what  should  be  a quota and ACLs for such a folder? Because when
trying  to  delete  it I have messed with quota and setacl commands on
it.  Maybe  someone  has  a standard configuration and can share their
quota and ACLs on 'user.cyrus'?
