Why can I not delete a mailbox as an admin user? ------------------------------------------------ By default, the permissions on newly created mailboxes do not allow access to any other user. Therefore even root user can not delete mailbox. To delete a mailbox, you need to give appropriate rights with the command ``sam user.mailbox username all`` after that you can delete the mailbox. Even just giving the user the "c" right (Create and Delete mailbox) is enough.
