Also, just wanted to point out another way of deleting users from "DELETED" without having to use expire. localhost> lm DELETED.user.soandso.* DELETED.user.soandso.5C3F3CFC (\HasNoChildren) DELETED.user.soandso.sent-mail.5C3F3CFC (\HasNoChildren) localhost> dm DELETED.user.soandso.* Deleting mailbox DELETED.user.soandso.5C3F3CFC...OK. Deleting mailbox DELETED.user.soandso.sent-mail.5C3F3CFC...OK. Ciao!
