I was able to fix these problems with reconstruct, and the didn't reappear till now. Also there where other accounts which had IOERRORS regarding the conversation db, with no cyr_expire archive errors, so i believe that these problems are not related.

I tried rebuilding the conversation db for the accounts with errors, but some other accounts will show up with errors some time later. I counldn't find a some thing in
common jet.

Did you have time to look into the cache/archivecache situation jet?

Are all fixes from master backported to 3.0?

Is the new Commit "I will try your new commits regarding CID" related to the
"IOERROR: conversations_audit on load:" and "IOERROR: conversations_audit on store"?

I will try your new commits in the next days on my test servers to sea if the fix
the endless loop in ctl_conversationsdb I have seen for some accounts.

Quoting myself (Re: prblems rebuilding conversations db) Jan 24, 2019

The program loops in build_cid_cb (imap/ctl_conversationsdb.c:189)

For the problematic mailbox that I tested, for every message
record->cid was NULLCONVERSATION, so mailbox_cacherecord,
message_update_conversations and mailbox_rewrite_index_record
where called, each returned 0.

After iterating trough all messages in the mailbox count was > 0, and r==0,
so the while condition (!r && count) was true for the next run.
At this point record->cid was still NULLCONVERSATION for every message,
which I guess should not be the case.
