Do you have this error every 30min ? No, randomly. They do not seem to harm much either. What puzzles me is that Cyrus was using BerkelyDB even though I had skiplist configured in imapd.conf and deleted statuscache.db in between. Is this information stored anywhere else except imapd.conf? Last night I * Recompiled Cyrus without BDB support * Changed line 1034 in ./lib/imapoptions to take skiplist as default and now finally statuscache.db is using skiplist. I wish I knew what went wrong in the first place, need to build a test setup to figure this one out, cannot fiddle more with the production unit. Now, for the original question, I applied Skiplist Readlocktracking Skiplist Safeunlock last night and I'm considering "Fast Rename" as well. Thank you Simon and Alan for your comments. --per ---- 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
