Instead of "su cyrus -c " I su-ed to cyrus ... in there it worked for deliver.db now. # file delnew.db delnew.db: Apple QuickTime movie (modified) So the other 3 dbs seem to be already skiplist, right? # file /var/lib/imap/*.db /var/lib/imap/annotations.db: Apple QuickTime movie (modified) /var/lib/imap/deliver.db: Berkeley DB (Btree, version 9, native byte-order) /var/lib/imap/mailboxes.db: Apple QuickTime movie (modified) /var/lib/imap/tls_sessions.db: Apple QuickTime movie (modified) If these four dbs are all I have to look at, I assume I could stop cyrus, replace deliver.db and try starting over? Thanks so far, sorry for my detailled approach, I just want to do it right ...
