Take a look at i.e.: http://www.cyrusimap.org/docs/cyrus-imapd/2.4.12/install-upgrade.php and/or: http://www.banquise.org/software/how-to-recover-from-cyrus-when-you-have-some-db-errors/ make a "simple" skiplist file from your mailboxes index db file with the cvt_cyrusdb tool - i.e. (fit the pathes!). I usually execute cyrus commands under the cyrus user of that system (typically "cyrus") by sudo or "su cyrus": /usr/cyrus/bin/cvt_cyrusdb /var/imap/mailboxes.db berkeley \ /var/imap/mailboxes.db.new skiplist mv /var/imap/mailboxes.db.new /var/imap/mailboxes.db This could be used independently from your DB version and is very handy if you have to "rebuild" your mailbox database "from the ground" (backup). A "hard" version is to delete the databases and let regenerate it new from cyrus. Make shure that you have the mailbox index file (mailboxes.db as skiplist and as a backup - and pls make a full backup of your /var/lib/cyrus database directory structure): -> STOP/KILL all cyrus processes su - cyrus cd /var/lib/cyrus rm db/* rm db.backup1/* rm db.backup2/* rm deliver.db rm tls_sessions.db -> START cyrus reconstruct or cyrreconstruct -r user.* (depending from under how name the reconstruct command is available) cheerioh, Niels. -- --- Niels Dettenbach Syndicat IT & Internet http://www.syndicat.com PGP: https://syndicat.com/pub_key.asc ---
