"cyrus doesn't know how to look in /var/vmail/ as the vmail user" Neither does a dolphin know how to fly; that documentation is not about Cyrus. Try reconstructing the mailbox after you put message files back. sudo -u cyrus /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/reconstruct -r -k -f user.fred Paths may vary based upon distribution and packages. Use the Cyrus documentation available @ <http://cyrusimap.org/docs/cyrus-imapd/> and/or take a look at the Cyrus chapter in my `book` @ <http://sourceforge.net/projects/coils/files/WMOGAG.pdf/download> Comments on documentation are appreciated. Writing documentation is hard - feedback helps; sometimes if you understand something your explanation has holes only the less advanced reader can point out. -- Adam Tauno Williams <mailto:awilliam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> GPG D95ED383 Systems Administrator, Python Developer, LPI / NCLA ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://www.cyrusimap.org/ List Archives/Info: http://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/info-cyrus/ To Unsubscribe: https://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/mailman/listinfo/info-cyrus
