I want to rename a mailbox (and all of its descendants), however I am
struggling with what, on the surface, would appear to be a simple task.
I first tried to use cyradm rename command to rename user.foo to
user.foo@xxxxxxxxxxx, like this:
localhost> rename user.foo user.foo@xxxxxxxxxxx
However the rename command does not appear to be recursive, and I could
not find any argument to tell it to recurse. Do I have this right or am
I doing something wrong?
I decided to try it in a Perl script using Cyrus::IMAP::Admin. By doing
a `list` I could get the mailbox and its descendants like this:
@mailboxes = $client->list("user/$oldname");
@mailboxes_sub = $client->list("user/$oldname/*");
push (@mailboxes , @mailboxes_sub);
(I found that listing "user/$oldname*" got me user.foo but also
user.foobar so I had to combine two calls to prevent that.)
Then I could iterate over the mailboxes doing
$client->rename( $oldmailbox, $mailbox );
However, nothing works after the first rename; the program just exits,
not even "or die" error messages are displayed. In case it means
anything, the exit status is 141 which I think indicates a SIGPIPE (as
confirmed using `kill -l "$?"` which returns `PIPE`).
I did also notice a similar thing in cyradm, that after doing a rename
that subsequent action caused cyradm to exit:
localhost> rename user/testuser/Trash user/test@xxxxxxxxxxx/Trash
renamemailbox:
localhost> lm # this curiously returns nothing!
localhost> echo $?
0
localhost> lm
[cyrus@fee7fffd9be7 ~]$ echo $?
141
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am currently using cyrus-imapd
3.0.13-3 on Arch Linux.
