cyrus imapd user.root mailbox
 
I've installed the Cyrus imap server, and created mailboxes through the commandline cyradm program. I've used "cm user.name" for this. It works fine for normal users, but then I added a mailbox for root, and cyrus decided not to follow the user.name scheme anymore, creating instead an INBOX. What's worse, I can't seem to delete or rename this mailbox.

My commands & relevant output:

Code:
mailsuse:/var/spool/imap/user # cyradm
cyradm> connect localhost
IMAP Password:localhost.localdomain> cm user.root
lm
INBOX (\HasNoChildren)            user.test.Sent (\HasNoChildren)
user.test (\HasChildren)          user.test.Trash (\HasNoChildren)
localhost.localdomain> lam INBOX
root lrswipcda
localhost.localdomain> dm INBOX
deletemailbox: Operation is not supported on mailbox
localhost.localdomain> rename INBOX user.blah
renamemailbox: Operation is not supported on mailbox
What do I do? I'd like to have a normal user.root mailbox if possible.

Oh dear, never mind.. it seems that cyradm shows you a different name for your own mailboxes.. being authenticated to it as root, that would display user.root as INBOX. I created a new mailadmin user and authenticated to cyradm as that user, now lm shows user.root as I expected it to.
