The problem I had is, There was a empty mailbox was there some how in the user dropdown list of user administration screen.
I deleted the empty user from user administration web template screen, It deleted the user folder and at same time, it deleted all the mailboxes in the user folders. I am using External sql2000 database and Imail v7.05. I assume , there is no primary key set for UserID column. I still don't know, How it excepted empty userID in Imail as well as in table. Now I set UserID as primary key and backing up mailboxes.

Hmmm, I thought Postmaster was an alias. I can understand things getting messed up if you set up a postmaster userid due to the processing this account does.
