I created a shared folder of type mail and gave it permissions of anyone all in the web admin. I later deleted it using the web admin. It was gone from the web admin, but the IMAP folder still existed and showed up in the tree to the mail clients. I tried physically deleting the IMAP folder, but cyrus didn't seem to like this very much and I got I/O errors when checking mail from my mail clients. I tried re-creating the shared folder from the web admin, which looked like it worked from the web admin side, but it didn't create the IMAP folder. I ended up doing a mkdir to create the IMAP folder and copying the 3 cyrus files that are usually in there from another shared folder so that I wouldn't get I/O errors from my mail clients.

Does anyone know a way to get rid of a shared folder?

Thanks,
Jason

Hm, I believe the creation and deletion of folders is currently still buggy. I already had another user reporting that shared folders are missing the "create" permission and in your case the "manager" user is probably missing the "delete" permissions. I will have to look into that at a later timepoint.

You can delete such a folder using the cyradm tool. Add the necessary permissions for the manager using the "sam" command and then later delete the folder using "dm".

An additional word of caution:

In case you put your server into production mode and have users running on the machine I would suggest to never ever delete folders from the imap spool. In my experience the imap server is somewhat fragile concerning operations that directly touch the mail data structures without going through tools like cyradm. This can easily lead to complete failure of the mailbox db and that is a problem you definitely do not want to have on a productive server. It is in general a good idea to have a firm grasp of cyradm before embarking on longer journeys with kolab Smiley

Cheers,

Hi Jason,

can you still reproduce the problem with the newest version? There were some changes in Kolab CVS that might have affected the problem. I did retest this on my servers and I had no problems with deleting the folders.

I opened a bug for this at

http://bug.pardus.de/view.php?id=12

Feel free to reopen if the problem persists.

Cheers,

Gunnar
