Cyrus bug when returning mailbox names
Hi, There seems to be a bug in the Cyrus code that incorrectly returns the name of a mailbox with a trailing space as that name without the space: [EMAIL PROTECTED] telnet cyrus 143 Trying 1.2.3.4... Connected to cyrus. Escape character is '^]'. * OK babbage.corp.google.com Cyrus IMAP4 v2.1.12 server ready . login tommy password . OK User logged in . list user.tommy.Agencies *Realty* * LIST (\HasNoChildren) . user.tommy.Agencies.Bay Area Agencies.Street Media.VIP Realty . OK Completed (0.000 secs 2 calls) [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# ls -ld /var/spool/imap/user/tommy/Agencies/Bay\ Area\ Agencies/Street\ Media/VIP\ Realty/ ls: /var/spool/imap/user/tommy/Agencies/Bay Area Agencies/Street Media/VIP Realty/: No such file or directory [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# ls -ld /var/spool/imap/user/tommy/Agencies/Bay\ Area\ Agencies/Street\ Media/VIP\ Realty\ / drwx--2 cyrusroot 552 Aug 9 2002 /var/spool/imap/user/tommy/Agencies/Bay Area Agencies/Street Media/VIP Realty / Is there a simple way to rename this mailbox without the space, so that attempts to perform operations on it do not fail? Maybe it's as simple as renaming it at the file-system level, as Cyrus seems to think it lacks the space, anyway.

First, dump the mailboxes.db file to something you can edit: su - cyrus cd /var/spool/imap ctl_mboxlist -d badmailboxes Edit badmailboxes to remove the problem name, and move the bad directory on the filesystem to the new name. Now load the mailboxes file back to db format: ctl_mboxlist -u badmailboxes ctl_cyrusdb -c That should fix your problem.

I think it was a version of Outlook, but when it was done is unknown, so it's impossible to tell.
