I
i have now a user request to restore a deleted mailbox.
This failed with "Invalid mailbox name" in cyradm. which is wrong in
the fist place,
because the new name was the original name.
In the Log files I found "can't rename a deleted mailbox" and I discovered
this in the source :-(
/* we can't rename back from a deleted mailbox, because the conversations
* information will be wrong. Ideally we might re-calculate, but for now
* we just throw a big fat error */
if (config_getswitch(IMAPOPT_CONVERSATIONS) &&
mboxname_isdeletedmailbox(oldmailbox->name, NULL)) {
syslog(LOG_ERR, "can't rename a deleted mailbox %s",
oldmailbox->name);
return IMAP_MAILBOX_BADNAME;
}
So conversation db breaks one of the mail reasons "delete_mode: delayed"
(restoring deleted folders) without resorting to a filebased backup.
Is there an other way than disabling
- conversation db,
- restoring the folder,
- enabeling conversation db again (so that squat files are used for
header searches),
- rebuilding conversation db for all users (because there will be some
new mails between
disabling and re-enabling conversation db).
Kind regards.
