Ok...

the way I fixed the problem is the way I described below, for future record.

Cyrus rocks!

Thanks!!!

Are the submailboxes missing too?



They are not missing. They exist with their cyrus.* files. It is just the top one which contains nothing (except
for the sub-dirs of the other mailboxes).


I have been trying to repeat what the user might have done in another server but when I delete the top-level
mailbox everything is removed (including sub-mailboxes).


I have tried the following:
- create a new mailbox
- copy the directories of the other sub-folders from the "damaged" main box
- get rid of the cyrus.* in the sub-folders
- running 'reconstruct -r -f general'
- voila... everything is back! The permissions of the top-level mailbox are inherited by the others, btw.


1) Does this sound like a good route or the "corrupted" mailbox still has hope?

2) I guess from now on I should make sure the top-level mailbox doesn't have a 'lrswipcd' acl, correct?
Althought it is ok with sub-mailboxes, or not?


I granted the user permissions for a few hours fo her to create some sub-mailboxes... :(

Thanks Ken!!!
