1. Stop Cyrus
2. Delete /var/lib/imap/deliver.db
3. Delete the contents of /var/lib/imap/db/
4. Start Cyrus
deliver.db contains (mainly) transient data about messages. If you delete
it, you may get a repeated message from anyone using a vacation responder,
but otherwise there are no negative consequences.
