I don't see why not. I have done it before. You can always just move it 
somewhere out of the way and move it back if it causes any issues.


Also, just wanted to point out another way of deleting users from 
"DELETED" without having to use expire.


localhost> lm DELETED.user.soandso.*
DELETED.user.soandso.5C3F3CFC (\HasNoChildren)
DELETED.user.soandso.sent-mail.5C3F3CFC (\HasNoChildren)


localhost> dm DELETED.user.soandso.*
Deleting mailbox DELETED.user.soandso.5C3F3CFC...OK.
Deleting mailbox DELETED.user.soandso.sent-mail.5C3F3CFC...OK.
