The options I selected were found in an earlier email and I find this
fixes any lingering metadata issues.
I didn't loose any flags during the process.
That error you see at the end, however, is something I managed to
avoid by testing on an isolated test server first.
I think the only way to fix this is to use cyradm to rename all
mailfolders with that "N" at the beginning, starting with the one
mentioned.
Then rerun the commands again.
On a clean system, those commands just run really fast and don't show
any adjustments being made.

Trying it now.
Lists/Linux-kernel and Lists/Netdev are massive.... Should probably
unsubscribe from some of the higher volume mailing lists that I no
longer have the time to follow.
But no, I didn't run this command in your email when I updated. I
figured whatever conversions, etc. needed to be done would happen in
the packaging (Fedora, in this case) upgrade scripts. My mistake.
Is this going to clobber state on the messages like "Read" and
"Flagged"? Why is the use of -M necessary?
I noticed that when I added:
unixhierarchysep: on
altnamespace: on
disable_shared_namespace: 1
(well, the first two shouldn't matter since that's now the default)
that the extra mailboxes described in the original posting
disappeared.
Huh. Those weird filenames showed up as a lot of errors during the
reconstruct:

Philip,
Did you follow the upgrade steps, including the part about
rebuilding the database files?
When I upgraded to 3.8.1 (from 3.4.5), I did the following:
# time reconstruct -C /etc/imapd.conf -x -f -M -G
# time ctl_conversationsdb -v -R -r
The above were necessary for me due to some issues (some fields no
longer optional) having remained over time. 3.6.x and later will
have problems with those.
Do note, depending on amount of mail, those commands can run for
quite some time. Best to prevent new mail deliveries while it is
running to get it done quicker.

Hi all,
I updated Fedora on my mail server last Fall and went 3.4.4 to
3.6.0, and immediately noticed that my MacOSX and iOS clients were
showing mailboxes looking like I<hexdigit*16> or else
I<hexdigit*8>-<hexdigit*4>-<hexdigit*4>-<hexdigit*12> such as:
localhost> lm
I000f949e43016cf3 (\HasNoChildren) I008c482f4c6dc04c
(\HasNoChildren) I013c95c942d88dc9 (\HasNoChildren)
I01d66834-ad49-49bc-bbc1-e88dd5daa634 (\HasNoChildren)
I01e717335405ff9e (\HasNoChildren) I01ec06a14a4a9b45
(\HasNoChildren) I022db01846168a0b (\HasNoChildren)
I02b22ece-586a-472c-9682-56aa077881e7 (\HasNoChildren)
I034348fc-8758-46b7-b4a0-531a810e75b8 (\HasNoChildren)
I034e9db54a247d82 (\HasNoChildren) ...
But other mailboxes show up as subscribed:
INBOX.Lists.Cyrus-info (\Subscribed \HasNoChildren) Where did these
names come from?
Do they contain anything? Can I safely delete them?
Why aren't the clients ignoring folders that aren't subscribed?
I updated to Fedora 39 and am running 3.8.1 right now.
Thanks,
-Philip
