I assume the same can be applied for "-m" mode. 1.) Dump a mailbox list using: /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/ctl_mboxlist -d | cut -f1 > /tmp/mailbox_list.txt 2.) Run the sync for that mailbox list /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/sync_client -m -v -l -f /tmp/mailbox_list.txt This seems to just-die; but is working if I break-up the mailbox list into units-of-work [rather than all at once]. ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://www.cyrusimap.org/ List Archives/Info: http://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/info-cyrus/
