Hi,

This sounds like it's the tombstone entry for the deleted mailbox (i.e. a 
record that there used to be a mailbox with that name).  I believe tombstones 
are relatively new, in which case the master server might not have one just 
because it's an older build.  Off the top of my head I'm not sure what version 
they appeared in, but I think ~2.5.

I might be totally wrong here.  My understanding how tombstones appear to 
administrators is pretty woolly/nonexistent, so I'm guessing.  Hoping someone 
more familiar with these can chime in.

We don't really seem to have any documentation about them, so that would be a 
good thing to put together.  I've raised 
https://github.com/cyrusimap/cyrus-imapd/issues/2265 for this, so we don't 
forget to do it :)

Cheers,

ellie
