Re: List mailboxes

Niels & Paul,
Niels' suggestion to use cyradm command lm is correct, but the assertion 
that "...all of them list all mailboxes..." is not.  IMAP supports 
wildcard characters, so one may list only the mailboxes within the 
"user" namespace like so:

    nic@vultr1:~$ cyradm -u cyrus localhost
    Password:
    localhost>*lm user/%*
    user/cricket (\HasChildren)
    user/emergency (\HasNoChildren)
    user/emily (\HasChildren)
    user/friends (\HasNoChildren)
    user/jack (\HasChildren)
    user/jason (\HasChildren)
    user/john (\HasChildren)
    user/kathy (\HasChildren)
    user/ken (\HasChildren)
    user/nic (\HasChildren)
    user/therese (\HasChildren)

Does it still need some cleanup?  Yes, but it's not a bad start.
     -nic

PS - BTW, the asterisk (*) is a match-all wildcard, while percent (%) is 
just one level
