Re: How to purge /var/spool/cyrus/mail/u/DELETED/user manually

    Michael,
    You haven't given us much information to go on.

• Which version of Cyrus?
• Did you install from distribution packages (i.e. debs on Ubuntu/Debian or rpm on Redhat)?
  • Some distros have different default settings
    
• What is 'delete_mode' set to? (I'm guessing "delayed" but still worth asking)
  
  • Allowed values: immediate, delayed*
• What is 'expunge_mode' set to?
  • Allowed values: default, immediate, delayed*
• Have you got any 'cyr_expire' jobs in cyrus.conf?
  • The precise commands may vary by distro
    • On Debian/Ubuntu systems look like this (using "cyrus expire") whereas others may use "cyr_expire":
      •     # Expire data older than 28 days.
            deleteprune    cmd="/usr/sbin/cyrus expire -E 4 -D 28" at=0430
            expungeprune    cmd="/usr/sbin/cyrus expire -E 4 -X 28" at=0445
        

    Assuming you have typical annotations, you should be able to use the
    'cyr_expire' command directly.  Here's the man page for it:

• https://www.cyrusimap.org/imap/reference/manpages/systemcommands/cyr_expire.html
  

    On my Ubuntu system a command to remove all deleted mailboxes older
    than 1 minute might be:
> $ sudo cyrus expire -a -D 1m
    Cheers,
        -nic
