Just to clear this up, if he's using our invoca rpms then his man page reads: delete_mode: delayed The manner in which mailboxes are deleted. "immediate" mode is the the mode in which mailboxes are removed immediately. In "delayed" mode, mailboxes are renamed to a special hiearchy defined by the "deletedprefix" option to be removed later by cyr_expire. Note: This Invoca RPM build uses delayed by default instead of immedi- ate for delete_mode. Allowed values: immediate, delayed Regards, Simon ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://www.cyrusimap.org/ List Archives/Info: http://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/info-cyrus/
