Hi I like to know what you do in time with the olds accounts. Long time ago (well 2 years) we using dovecot as imap server. And when some accounts are closed we create a archive of the person mailbox (with tar), put that in some backup server where the file going to stay about 2 years. After that the data are destroy The reason we keep that is some time (30% of the time) the person going to come back and event it's not mandatory for us, the person are very happy to go it old mailbox. After switching to cyrus imap, I think about how to do that. If I'm correct I cannot just copy the file somewhere else, because cyrus database would keep the information about the existance of the mailbox, so what will the «state of the art» way to remove a mail account and all the mail. And how what would be the «state of the art» way to put it back ? Regards.
