Actually, I'm going to assume that there are probably edge cases. Also, newer versions should be somewhat better than older versions at dealing with this. At the very least, if you're running any version more recent than 2.3.15 you'll want to make sure you set disconnect_on_vanished_mailbox to true in imapd.conf. If you don't set this, the client will remain connected to proxyd on the frontend and proxyd will remain connected to imapd on the backend. After the move, there will be no mail on that backend server and the user will see an empty mailbox. Setting disconnect_on_vanished_mailbox will cause imapd to disconnect proxyd and hence, the client. Depending on the client, it may silently reconnect and the user won't notice. That behavior varies by client. > Exist a way to block the connection until the operation finish ? Cyrus takes care of this for you by setting the mailbox state to MBTYPE_RESERVE during the move. Note that this happens per-folder as each one is being moved, and not for the entire mailbox hierarchy. If an IMAP client attempts to access a folder while it's in reserved state it will get either a BAD or NO (I didn't look to see which) "Mailbox is currently reserved" back. hth, Dave ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://www.cyrusimap.org/ List Archives/Info: http://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/info-cyrus/
