If you use the command `file` you can figure out what is what: # file mailboxes.db mailboxes.db: Apple QuickTime movie file (skip) That is a skiplist file... # file /etc/mail/aliases.db /etc/mail/aliases.db: Berkeley DB (Hash, version 7, native byte-order) That is a bdb file. On your production system you should be able to use: # su cyrus -c "/usr/cyrus/bin/ctl_mboxlist -d > mailboxes.txt" To dump the mailboxes to a file, then later after you change your imapd.conf to use skiplist, you can import it with: # su cyrus -c "/usr/cyrus/bin/ctl_mboxlist -u < mailboxes.txt" HTH, schu ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
