Hi folks, I am running Cyrus IMAP 2.1.9 and have been having problems with deleted folders still appearing in the mailbox list.
ctl_mboxlist -d > mailboxes.txt vi mailboxes.txt and remove entries for deleted folders ctl_mboxlist -u < mailboxes.txt If I then repeat ctl_mboxlist -d > mailboxes.txt and check the file the removed entries are still there so clear this is not working. I suspect that somewhere the command used has changed and is possibly ctl_cyrusdb or similar now but need some advise. Regards, Phil Ellett, Sheffield. *** BEGIN PREVIOUS THREAD *** Kai, I ran into this problem myself awhile back. The _best_ way to move folders in this manner is to do it in your imap client program. However, if you want to do this by hand (say, for a number of users via a script), you can do the mv command, but you then need to export your mailboxes.db file to a text file, edit the location of the moved folder and import the mailboxes back into the mailboxes.db. The error you're getting is because, in mailboxes.db, there is an entry for the spam folder at the directory level it used to be at. A reconstruct -rf will find and add the new spam folder location, but it cannot remove the old mailboxes.db entry or modify it. As cyrus, ctl_mboxlist -d > mailboxes.txt vi mailboxes.txt and edit your old spam entry ctl_mboxlist -u < mailboxes.txt HTH, Will --On Thursday, 19 September, 2002 22:01 +0200 Kai Groshert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi everybody, > > I'm not sure I fully understood the function of "reconstruct", so if > anyone could give me a hint here... > > I'm trying to move one mailfolder for the user "dimitri", which is > located in /var/spool/imap/user/dimitri: > > -rw------- 1 cyrus mail 4 Sep 19 22:47 cyrus.cache > -rw------- 1 cyrus mail 181 Sep 19 22:47 cyrus.header > -rw------- 1 cyrus mail 56 Sep 19 22:47 cyrus.index > drwx------ 2 cyrus root 117 Sep 19 22:47 drafts > drwx------ 2 cyrus root 117 Sep 19 22:47 sent-mail > drwx------ 2 cyrus root 117 Sep 19 22:46 spam > drwx------ 2 cyrus root 117 Sep 19 22:51 trash > > I'm trying to move the "spam" folder below the "trash" folder (using > "mv").
