Bingo, that's it!

I didn't think of that possibility, but when migrating a lot
of accounts to this server recently, somehow this additional
folder must have been created in parallel to the "user" hierarchy!

As soon as I realized that the "sent-mail" folder was
at the same filesystem directory level as the "user"
hierarchy it was easy.

I just logged in with cyradm as an Cyrus admin user,
set the ACL for this stray folder to "all" and deleted
it. Now everything is fine again!

Thank you so much for this hint!
