Re: cyrus: delete previously deleted messages(after backup recovery)

Hi

Quoting Y B <ybpubs@xxxxxxxxx>:

OK, I managed to reconstruct my test mailbox. The files that were in my
directory structure but not visible in the mailbox are now all visible in
my email client.
Unfortunately, the cyrreconstruct command is not verbose at all and I
cannot see the filenames corresponding to rediscovered emails (so I cannot
delete them...).
Any clue?


...

My version of cyrus : 2.2.13



Cyrus 2.2.13 is very old. AFSIR the -n feature was added in 2.4.x.
Updating in this situation might do harm, as the metadata format
changed in 2.4.x

I think there are no reconstruct options or other tools, to remove the
deleted mails out of the box, but the information which mails where in
the mailbox are stored in the cyrus.index file.
See http://git.cyrusimap.org/cyrus-imapd/tree/doc/internal/mailbox-format.html?h=cyrus-imapd-2.2

So you may be able to write a tool to parse the file.

Regards
