Tech support is another use case here.

People often call and say they can't find a message in this and that folder
or that some Kolab data is not up to date. We ssh into the machine
and then use f.e. midnight commander to browse the folders of the user.

Yes, that is a common use case. Being able to grep, du, copy or otherwise script access to all folders of a user really speeds up support. You can
immediately see what the user has done with your natural tools on the
commandline.


With expunge_mode: delayed we use unexpunge -l user/john.doe/some/fol...@example.org today -- iow, no need to know the uniqueid there.

If something does require us to 'cd' in to the mailbox or 'grep' some hierarchy, we use the mbpath utility (despite the outcome being predicable for a default installation, it is not so much with fulldirhash enabled).

With delete_mode: delayed we use kolab list-deleted-mailboxes (giving you the original path and a humanly readable datetime of the deletion).

Kind regards,
