Hello,
Even if the use of NFS is deprecated with Cyrus the following
insignificant patch will correct an annoying problem: if you try to
delete a mailbox located on a NFS mailstore, all the content of the
mailbox is deleted, but the mailbox folder is not:
It seems that Cyrus tries to delete the mailbox directory before closing
these 3 files handles opened just before (cyrus.* files). That works on
local filesystem but doesn't over NFS.
Here is a patch (appliable to Debian 2.1.17 or upstream 2.1.18 or
2.2.12) in the mailbox_delete function in the imap/mailbox.c file which
corrects this behaviour and solves the reported problem:

} while (rmdir(buf) == 0 && (tail = strrchr(buf, '/')));

return 0;
}

I suppose it doesn't introduce side effect as the mailbox is to be
deleted and the mailbox_delete function is only called from the
mboxlist.c file.
Is it possible to integrate this patch ?
