The only drawback is that created mailboxes on the master won't be on the replica. As soon as it receives email it will be added on the replica. You could get around it by forcing a sync of the mailbox manually after you create the user on the master. > > At present the system appears to be functioning normally, except for the > fact that deleted & purged messages whilst not displaying in the client > still appear in the user's mailbox on the filesystem, but I think this may > be a feature of normal behaviour. >> If not, what is the correct command to transfer the mailbox?

The easiest way is doing a ctl_mboxlist -d to a file and look in it to see how you need to name the mailbox. In my case it's like ugent.be!user.rudy^ugent.be Rudy -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Rudy Gevaert Rudy.Gevaert@xxxxxxxx tel:+32 9 264 4734 Directie ICT, afd.
