Wes, Bron, thanks for the tremendous help/clarification with this --
this sounds like it could be my problem. Just one more question,
because the documentation is a bit unclear. I think what I need to do is:
--------------
stop cyrus
add "improved_mboxlist_sort: 1" to /etc/imapd.conf
ctl_mboxlist -d -x > mailbox_list.txt
ctl_mboxlist -u < mailbox_list.txt
start cyrus
--------------
There is, however a comment on the man page which is confusing:
-x When performing a dump, remove the mailboxes
dumped from the mailbox list (mostly useful
when specified with -p)
Why is this flag mostly useful when specified with -p? Don't I need to
remove the contents of the old mboxlist under any circumstances if I
plan to reload on the same machine, or will ctl_mboxlist dump the
contents automatically as soon as I execute a -u load?
Finally, assuming this works and based on my experience, it seems that
the improved sorting system should just become the default in cyrus
2.4.x, with the improved_mboxlist_sort deprecated and perhaps even
disabled. Not being able to sort with "non-ascii" characters like -_ is
going to be counterintuitive to most people.
