You need to do a ctl_mboxlist -d to a mailboxes.tmp file (from the existing mailboxes.db). Then, after recompiling the code, use the new ctl_mboxlist -u to upload that tmp file back to the mailboxes.db file! This took a long time on my box (4MB mailboxes.db file, but on HP-UX), but on someone else's Solaris box it was very quick. Hope this helps c*
