Re: xfer problems between 2.3.15 and 2.4.17

So I'm going to attach the cyrus metadata files for a folder that behaved the way I am describing having been xfer'd between 2.3.15 and 2.4.17.

these are the files from the source server ie the 2.3.15 backend.

If anyone with far deeper knowledge of cyrus than we do, could have a look to see if they can identify a problem and possibly find a solution then we would be very grateful.

Any help with this would be much appreciated.

We keep coming across folders that once they have been migrated seem to
have corrupt cyrus.index files. The only way to fix them is to remove the
files and do a reconstruct. This is not a workable solution from our users
point of view as is sets all the messages back to flaggged as new etc.

We have tried various tests, but we can't discover the cause of the
corruption of the cyrus.index files.

I have been testing xfer of accounts within a cyrus murder from 2.3.15
backends to new 2.4.17. backends.

all the email and folders seem to migrate perfectly and the xfer'd
accounts can send and receive email. However when reading email with an
IMAP client I am having strange issues setting flags within folders on
messages. In particular setting and unsetting deletion flags is very
erratic. In some folders it doesn't work at all, on others I can set the
deletion flag but can't unset it. All of the backends have delayed
expunge switched on.

debug output from the alpine IMAP client seems to suggest the server is
doing what it's told:

IMAP DEBUG 12:04:30 5/7: 01000069 STORE 93 +Flags (\DELETED)
IMAP DEBUG 12:04:30 5/7: 01000069 OK Completed
IMAP DEBUG 12:04:31 5/7: 0100006a STORE 94 +Flags (\DELETED)
IMAP DEBUG 12:04:31 5/7: 0100006a OK Completed

but then something seems to immediately remove the flag, because on
issuing an expunge the client finds nothing to expunge.

nothing of note seems to be logged on the backend, even logging in debug
mode.

the other baffling thing is that in some folders within the same users
account, this whole process works perfectly.

does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this and if there might
be a solution?

many thanks,
