reconstruct simply ignores the folders... I had to dump mailboxes from the old server grepping the StormSupport folder and subfolders /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/ctl_mboxlist -u < /tmp/mailboxes.txt then I added the missing mailboxes in the text file and re-imported from text file and then it worked. but I did not know why reconstruct could not find the folder itself... the permission were ok I checked them many times. thank you Rick P.S. I did not try with -x I ws in hurry to fix hte problem and it worked with ctl_mboxlist than I had o reimport hte mailboxes On 9/26/11 3:19 PM, Adam Tauno Williams wrote: > On Mon, 2011-09-26 at 14:41 +0200, Riccardo Veraldi wrote: >> Hello, >> I have migrated mailboxes from cyrus-imapd 2.3.7 to cyrus-imapd 2.4.10 >> on CentOS 5.6 >> everything went fine except for a user who has a lot of nested folders >> this user has a mailbox called StoRM like this: >> user.username.StoRM >> user.username.StoRM.StormDevel >> user.username.StoRM.StormUsers >> this is in the mailboxes file >> but on the filesystem there is another folder called StormSupport which >> is not seen as >> user.username.StoRM.StormSupport >> inside this there is another level of folders lik >> user.username.StoRM.StormSupport.folder1 >> user.username.StoRM.StormSupport.folder2 >> user.username.StoRM.StormSupport.folder3 >> and so on >> basically cyrus is unable to see user.username.StoRM.StormSupport and >> its subfolders >> I tried to reconstruct the mailbox with -f -r but no clue, the problem >> persists. >> Folder user.username.StoRM.StormSupport and its subfolders are >> correctly seen on the old server >> but not on the new one.
