Corrupted mail account

    We're running the default Cyrus IMAP server on an Apple Xserve
    (10.3.9). One of our users corrupted two of their IMAP folders by
    attempting to move it to a new location, then back, apparently before
    the copy was complete. Now, instead of something like this:

    /Foo
    /Bar

    They now have this:

    /Foo/Bar
    /Bar

    Where neither "Bar" folders are readable by the client. At this
    point, I just want to delete them both and allow the user to recreate
    their IMAP structure and upload (they POP'd all their mail to local
    storage). Unfortunately, when I delete their folders and do a
    reconstruct as the cyrus user, it recreates the broken structure. I
    don't know much about Cyrus, but I'm guessing there's a master copy
    of this information stored in db. How can I blow away this user's
    mail store and rebuild?

    Thanks,
