Hi,
I had a mailbox get autocreated by the delivery of a message and now that mailbox is
called /var/spool/imap/uuid/?/?/<guid>. I want to rename it to be
/var/spool/mail/j/user/joe (or equivalent).
What do I need to do to make this happen?
I presume you've upgraded to at least version 3.6.x at some point prior
to this?
You're experiencing the storage changes documented here:
https://www.cyrusimap.org/3.6/imap/download/upgrade.html#storage-changes
While there is a command (relocate_by_id) which migrates mailboxes still
using the legacy storage method to the new style, I don't believe
there's a command to go the other way.
I expect that after enabling legacy_maildirs, you could manually move
the hashed directory to your desired location and then use reconstruct
to add it back. You could try renm in a cyradm shell first; no idea if
that would work.
Note that as of 3.12.x there's no further mention of the legacy_maildirs
option; it may not be supported after the 3.10.x series.
