Re: recover mailboxes

[Riccardo Veraldi <Riccardo.Veraldi@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

you must recover the enitre mailbox from your backup, for example user called "generic"

at this point you use reconstruct to rebuild hte mailbox with cyrus index files

su cyrus
reconstruct -r -f user.generic

then you rebuild hte quota

quota -f user.generic

and you are done.

But you must recover the individual message files in the mailbox path otherwise you are lost.


/var/spool/imap/g/user/generic

Hi list,

Is it possible to recover imap mailboxes with:
cyrus.cache, cyrus.index and cyrus.headers?

The OS is maxosx server 10.4

I want to recover mail from the backup but I cannot find the individual message files.

Regards, Chantal
