through the
filesystem, and not by using the database) and try to remove them. This
could
then be run periodically by administrators.
What do you think?
Please do not take my word for it, but I think Cyrus IMAP 2.5 introduces
a state flag of MBTYPE_DELETE for mailboxes [1] in the actual mboxlist,
so the related functions would still be able to find it after the facts
of the case.
IIRC, I ran in to this (particular MBTYPE) because it purges ACLs, and
rendered (discrete) murder topologies unable to ctl_mboxlist -m (as well
as made ctl_mboxlist -d segfault).
I think the intention is exactly what you describe is the scenario, but
if it is I'm not certain it also properly addresses it.
Kind regards,
