HI, first of all, apologies for breaking the threat, but I did not receive my question. Second, I have solved my problem, but I've lost all my mail, and I have a question about what has happenend. Third, list archieve does not work. I tried to contact webmaster, but got no response. Let's go with my explanation: Here's what I have done: I ignored strange character in error message and looked for similar errors in gentoo forums and google, found many: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-482191-highlight-dberror.html http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-499634-highlight-dberror.html ... My first try was recovering /var/imap/db/* so I did: db4.3_recover log.0000000005 which said something about ignoring that log and looked for log.00000006 which did not exist, so I exited. When I saw I could not recover (or I did not know how) my db, I decided to delete all db: 687 rm /var/imap/*.db 688 rm /var/imap/db*/* And restart cyrus. Fianlly, cyrus started fine. So, and here comes my error, I flushed my postfix queue (postqueue -f) and all mails were recieved by cyrus, but when I tried to recover my mail with MUA (sylpheed) I got a "Unable to locate maildrop: Mailbox does not exist" or something similar... So, I start playing with imtest and checked if my user was correctly created etc... imtest -m login -a arnau localhost C: C01 CAPABILITY S: * CAPABILITY IMAP4 IMAP4rev1 ACL QUOTA LITERAL+ MAILBOX-REFERRALS NAMESPACE UIDPLUS ID NO_ATOMIC_RENAME UNSELECT CHILDREN MULTIAPPEND BINARY SORT THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT THREAD=REFERENCES ANNOTATEMORE IDLE STARTTLS LISTEXT LIST-SUBSCRIBED X-NETSCAPE S: C01 OK Completed Please enter your password: C: L01 LOGIN arnau {8} S: + go ahead C: S: L01 OK User logged in Authenticated. Security strength factor: 0 And I, wrongly, assumed that my user was fine... After a little playing with cyradm, I decided to delete my mailbox and create it again: cyradm -user cyrus localhost lm dm cm ... And here is when I deleted all my mail, deleting/creating my user. (I suppose). What I don't understand is why my old users was not able to receive my mail at MUA level, and why postfix was able to dleiver mail to a user that has no mailbox (or that is what cyrus says). I don't remember previous lm output, but I prettty sure I created my user with "cm arnau" (checking my notes) and now, I had to create my user like "cm user.arnau", why? Anyone knows why happens this with a simple update? I did not see any update notes in elog (package log saved by emerge) Many thanks in advance, -- Arnau Bria http://blog.emergetux.net Bombing for peace is like fucking for virginity ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
