it's too late for me, I already had to change it all
manually, I couldn't find a way to delete the just
symlinks without deleting the real mbox files as well
if they weren't using openwebmail. deleting wildcarded
files isn't something you practice your regexp and
scripting skills on.

does anyone know the comand, or have a short script
that could do it? It would be very handly to have in
the archive.

Not to denegrate the makers of the openwebmail
package, as it's very well done and also very useful,
but it might be worth them considering the mbox
symlink and its incompatibility with the 550 cmu for
future releases.
