If the mailbox structure has been successfully created already and your problem really is just the mbtype listed in the mailboxes database, I think you should be able to rectify this by sending an ACTIVATE command to the mupdate server for the affected mailboxes. http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-siemborski-mupdate-04#section-9.1 For example, using mupdatetest: $ mupdatetest -m GSSAPI your.mupdate.server.com. S: * AUTH "GSSAPI" S: * COMPRESS "DEFLATE" S: * PARTIAL-UPDATE S: * OK MUPDATE "your.mupdate.server.com" "Cyrus Murder" "v2.3.16" "(master)" C: A01 AUTHENTICATE "GSSAPI" {752+} ...snipped... S: A01 OK "Authenticated" Authenticated. 1 ACTIVATE "user.testuser" "your.cyrus.backend.com!u1" "testuser lrswipcda" 1 OK "done" 2 logout 2 OK "bye-bye" Thanks, Dave -- Dave McMurtrie, SPE Email Systems Team Leader Carnegie Mellon University, Computing Services ---- 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
