	Ok, not sure this was sent where it was intended, but I'll answer.

	In order to delete a mailbox in Cyrus, one must give the admin 
user (typically cyrus) delete permissions.  Cyrus uses ACLs to manange 
permissions, so one must change the ACL on the mailbox.  Look at:
http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/cyrus-overview.html#acl for a description of 
Cyrus' ACLs.

	To change the ACL (within cyradm), use setaclmailbox (or sam for 
short) and to view the ACL use listaclmailbox (or lam for short).  
Typically, this should work:

	sam user.<username> cyrus lrswipcda

	Hope this helps.
