The “-r” option causes reconstruct to reindex the specified mailbox and all subordinate mailboxes, otherwise child mailboxes are not reindexed. The “-k” preserves the “cyrus.expunge” database for the mailbox and all corresponding expunged messages; this option should always be specified for servers operating in delayed-expunge mode200. If the “-k” option is not specified all expunged messages will be removed from the specified folder(s). When restoring mailboxes from an archive or backup the parameter “-f” should also be specified; with “-f” any subdirectories in the filesystem directory corresponding to the specified mailbox which contain a “cyrus.header” file will be added into the server's mailbox list. The “-x” option when provided in conjunction with “-f” will create new folders with default metadata, otherwise reconstruct will attempt to restore as much of the mailboxes metadata as possible; such as ACLs, seen state, and flags. </quote> -- OpenGroupware developer: awilliam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <http://whitemiceconsulting.blogspot.com/> OpenGroupare & Cyrus IMAPd documenation @ <http://docs.opengroupware.org/Members/whitemice/wmogag/file_view> ---- 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
