I would "mkdir" the appropriate directories. This will let reconstruct run correctly. You can then delete the mailboxes. So: % mkdir /var/spool/imap/user/leg % cyradm localhost cyradm> reconstruct user.leg cyradm> sam user.leg all cyradm> dm user.leg Larry
Re: Deleting records from db
Thank you. I am in a similar situation like yours, because the server is still in test mode, so I can apply this solution.

Deleting records from db
Hello, I have an annoying problem: my collegue deleted phisically the directories from the user's directory, so the system, while attempting to delivery a message to a mailbox returns a "I/O Error". Correct until here. I need to remove the entries from the mailbox database, but I can't find the way. Anybody has an idea? I am using the following configuration: * Cyrus IMAPD 2.1.11 * Cyrus SASL 2.1.9 * Berkeley DB 4.1.24 * Postfix 1.1.12 * Users are authenticated through LDAP (pam_ldap) * Aliases are managed by LDAP * Delivery to mailbox made through LMTP TIA, En3pY -- Sebastian Konstanty Zdrojewski IT Analyst Neticon S.r.l. via Valtellina, 16 - 20159 Milano Tel. +39 02 68.80.731 FAX +39 02.60.85.70.41 Cell. +39 349.33.04.311 ICQ # 97334916 -- Web: http://www.neticon.it/ E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
