Greetings,
I'm working on a case that involves an examination of an individual's inbox.
I have a tarred and zipped file of the inbox, which I'm able to uncompress.
But I would then like to read the mail in its native format (by using an
email client, and pointing the client to the uncompressed files as local
mail). Is this possible, given that we run a Cyrus imap server? Here are some
details about the server:
Type: IMAP4rev1
Greeting: * OK mailserv0 Cyrus IMAP4 v1.6.13 server ready
Capability: IMAP4 IMAP4rev1 ACL QUOTA LITERAL+ NAMESPACE UIDPLUS
X-NON-HIERARCHICAL-RENAME NO_ATOMIC_RENAME AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=KERBEROS_V4
UNSELECT
Wow, that's an old version of Cyrus! :)
You could handle it the way we handle restores of mailboxes here.
1. Create a folder inside someone's mailbox (yours?)
2. Untar the files there
3. Delete the cyrus.* files
4. Create a dummy cyrus.header file (touch cyrus.header; chown cyrus:mail
cyrus.header; chmod 600 cyrus.header)
5. Run reconstruct on the mailbox (su cyrus -c 'reconstruct -x -f
user.username')
6. Run quota on the mailbox (su cyrus -c 'quota -f user.username')
