Re: Invalid Mailbox Name

Valentin & Albert,
I do not believe 'unexpunge' is correct in this case.  'unexpunge' is 
for unexpunging messages which have been deleted & expunged. It's got 
nothing to do with recovering deleted mailboxes.  For more on this, 
please see this page, which describes the proper terms & meanings:

    http://www.cyrusimap.org/imap/reference/admin/sop/deleting.html

As explained on that page, Albert's approach is the correct one. 
However, I have no idea why he's running into the problems.

Cheers,
     -nic
