Hi Dave, This has come on this list before, check the archives for March 2010. Thread was called: "Nested "INBOX" folders - hard to delete" >From my quick read, it might be possible to do it with "cyradm", but you need to have "delayed expunge" turned off as, I believe, 2.3.x has/had a bug you might encounter otherwise. -- Joost ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://www.cyrusimap.org/ List Archives/Info: http://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/info-cyrus/
