Removing "orphaned" mailboxes

[Jerry Malcolm <te...@malcolms.com>]

I made a stupid config mistake.  I was inadvertently not storing spam 
messages in the RECIPIENT's spam folder.  Rather I was storing them in a 
Spam folder for the SENDER.  I caught it fairly quickly.  But not before 
it created several hundred entries in JAMES_MAILBOX for all of the spam 
sender's email addresses plus the JAMES_MAIL entries for the spam 
messages I put into those mailboxes.  It's not really hurting anything 
other than taking up space in the database.  But I really would like to 
clean it up. I'm just curious what the best way to do it is.  I can't 
access the mailboxes via imap because the mailboxes aren't attached to 
any user account.  I could always go into the database with a hatchet 
and just delete mail in those mailboxes and then delete those mailboxes 
out of the tables.  But something tells me I would regret that and might 
possibly corrupt the database beyond recovery.  So I need suggestions.  
Do I need to create temp accounts for all of these mailboxes and use 
imap?  Is there a quicker way?

Thx

Jerry
