Subject: [9fans] Removing a nedmail -c box
Date: Thu, 10 Nov 2016 07:48:00 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <0be8a33d525d3b1352b443902c02e5f9@yourdomain.dom> (raw)

Hi,

once I created a mailbox with nedmail

	upas/nedmail -c AListBox

to store some mails from mailings lists, I made some error and want to get rid of that file again

	ls -l /mail/box/glenda/qemu
	-lrw-rw-rw- M 23 glenda glenda 0 Nov 10 06:53 /mail/box/glenda/qemu/L.mbox
	alrw--w--w- M 23 glenda glenda 0 Nov 10 06:53 /mail/box/glenda/qemu/mbox

But `rm` fails to remove anything there:

	term% rm /mail/box/glenda/qemu/L.mbox
	rm: /mail/box/glenda/qemu/mbox: '/mail/box/glenda/qemu/mbox' does not exist
	term%  rm /mail/box/glenda/qemu/L.mbox
	rm: /mail/box/glenda/qemu/L.mbox: '/mail/box/glenda/qemu/L.mbox' does not exist
	term% rm /mail/box/glenda/qemu
	rm: /mail/box/glenda/qemu: directory not empty
	term% rm -rf /mail/box/glenda/qemu
	term% ls -l /mail/box/glenda/qemu
	-lrw-rw-rw- M 23 glenda glenda 0 Nov 10 06:53 /mail/box/glenda/qemu/L.mbox
	alrw--w--w- M 23 glenda glenda 0 Nov 10 06:53 /mail/box/glenda/qemu/mbox

What can I do here?
How do I reverse the effect of `upas/nedmail -c Somthing` ?

Regards
Ingo
