The INBOX of one of the users on my Cyrus Imap server is piling up messages that are marked for deletion, yet not expunged. These messages do not show up in any mail client, so I'm assuming they're correctly marked as deleted¹. It seems this user's INBOX (it's mine, actually) is not included in the daily cyr_expire run, whereas the inboxes of other users are. Quote from syslog cyr_expire Repacking mailbox user.user1 cyr_expire Repacking mailbox user.user2 cyr_expire Repacking mailbox user.me.folder[1-4] cyr_expire Repacking mailbox user.user4 cyr_expire Repacking mailbox user.user4.folder cyr_expire Repacking mailbox user.user5 etcetera I would expect a "Repacking mailbox user.me" too :-) The server is running Cyrus 2.4.17 from Debian stable (Jessie). cyradm shows: localhost> info user.me {user.me}: duplicatedeliver: false lastpop: lastupdate: 14-Jan-2016 12:08:44 +0100 partition: default pop3newuidl: true sharedseen: false size: 177414 localhost> lam user.me me lrswipcda I've run reconstruct -fr user.me I've run quota -f user.me from cyrus conf: delprune cmd="/usr/sbin/cyrus expire -E 3" at=0401 the INBOX currently has a 161 messages, of which I'd expected all those from before Jan 12 to be deleted. Yet there are 19 files dating from January 11. 1) What is the best way to check the delete flag from these 160 messages? mbexamine user.me | less Index Header Info: Generation Number: 285646 Minor Version: 12 Header Size: 128 bytes Record Size: 96 bytes Number of Messages: 17 Mailbox Size: 1167022 bytes Last Append Date: (1452846705) Fri Jan 15 09:31:45 2016 UIDValidity: 1219570297 Last UID: 132313 Deleted: 0 Answered: 0 Flagged: 0 Mailbox Options: POP3_NEW_UIDL Last POP3 Login: (0) Thu Jan 1 01:00:00 1970 Highest Mod Sequence: 91074 and then shows the details for the 17 messages visible in the INBOX, and then for those in all of the folders. How can I see the details for the other messages, the ones I would expect to be removed from the file system? ---- 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
