20.11.2.2 To Remove Orphan Accounts

To search for orphaned accounts (orphaned accounts are mailboxes that do not have corresponding entries in LDAP) use the following command:

mboxutil -o

Command output follows:

  mboxutil: Start checking for orphaned mailboxes
  user/annie/INBOX
  user/oliver/INBOX
  mboxutil: Found 2 orphaned mailbox(es)
  mboxutil: Done checking for orphaned mailboxes

Use the following command to create a file listing orphaned mailboxes that can be turned into a script file that deletes the orphaned mailboxes (example filename is orphans.cmd):

mboxutil -o -w orphans.cmd

The command output is as follows:

  mboxutil: Start checking for orphaned mailboxes
  mboxutil: Found 2 orphaned mailbox(es)
  mboxutil: Done checking for orphaned mailboxes

Delete the orphan files with the following command:

mboxutil -d -f orphans.cmd
