Hi,

There seems to be a bug in the Cyrus code that incorrectly returns the
name of a mailbox with a trailing space as that name without the space:

Is there a simple way to rename this mailbox without the space, so that
attempts to perform operations on it do not fail? Maybe it's as simple
as renaming it at the file-system level, as Cyrus seems to think it
lacks the space, anyway.

Try doing some mailbox manipulation.

First, dump the mailboxes.db file to something you can edit:

su - cyrus
cd /var/spool/imap
ctl_mboxlist -d > badmailboxes
Edit badmailboxes to remove the problem name, and move the bad directory 
on the filesystem to the new name.

Now load the mailboxes file back to db format:

ctl_mboxlist -u < badmailboxes
ctl_cyrusdb -c
That should fix your problem.
