The thunderbird view of a user's mailbox tree had a mysterious nameless
subfolder. Because the subfolder was showing empty, I instructed the
user to just delete it through the mail program, which he did.
Now his INBOX itself is empty and the server logs has the following entries:
May 24 14:44:44 narawntapu imap[19976]: Expunged 16808 messages from
user.foo
May 24 14:45:04 narawntapu imap[21788]: Deleted mailbox user.foo.
All the messages -- including the new spam -- are still right here on
the filesystem, in /var/spool/imap/user/foo. However, reconstruct does
not seem to do anything -- it exits without an obvious error, but the
INBOX remains empty. For example, after running "reconstruct -G
user/foo", I got the following:
May 24 16:34:57 narawntapu reconstruct[25444]: reconstructing user.foo
May 24 16:36:12 narawntapu reconstruct[25444]: user.foo uid 55067
record mismatch, rewriting
May 24 16:36:12 narawntapu reconstruct[25444]: user.foo uid 55069
record mismatch, rewriting
May 24 16:36:55 narawntapu reconstruct[25444]: mailbox: longlock
user.foo for 117.4 seconds
Unfortunately, thunderbird is still not showing anything. Other folders
exist, but not the INBOX itself...
I have the backup of the entire /var/spool/imap from last night, but it
does not seem, like I need to recover the messages -- they are still
here on the filesystem -- it is something else, is not it?
The server runs FreeBSD-11.3, and cyrus-imapd-2.5.15... Thank you. Yours,
Do you have a expunge_mode setting in your imapd.conf ? If not,
expunge_mode will be set to the default "delayed" . You should be able
to use unexpunge to list the emails that can be restored.
