	# IMAP

	Cyrus IMAP holds all email and calendar/contacts data, and serves it via IMAP and CalDAV/CardDAV.

	## Finding a mailbox on disk

	Cyrus uses uuid's for folders, so mailbox paths have to be translated to the path on disk:

	!!! note

	Empty folders don't exist on disk (see example below).

	!!! note

	mbpath expects a folder name in the format from cyradm, but beware of character escaping (see example below, `&-` -> `&`).

	``` console
	$ kolabctl imap cyradm lm user/test*@kolab.org
	user/test/#sieve@kolab.org (\HasNoChildren)
	user/test/Calendar@kolab.org (\HasNoChildren)
