    I wonder if your db env is corrupt. stop cyrus server and
    cd /var/imap
    db_recover
    ctl_cyrusdb -r

    If that does not work and if you use skiplist for the mailboxes db, you
    can remove the contents of /var/imap/db and all berkeley dbs (deliver,
    annotate, etc) and restart cyrus-imap.
