Re: need help with noselect
Also... :) A reconstruct doesn't seem to find the mailbox: %reconstruct general general: Mailbox does not exist The folder does exit under the mail partition. I get the same error when trying to list the box or its ACL in cyradm. Thanks again! Joao Pedras wrote: Also let me add that sendmail can not deliver e-mail to the box.

Ken, thanks for you prompt reply. :) Ken Murchison wrote: Joao Pedras wrote: Also... :) A reconstruct doesn't seem to find the mailbox: %reconstruct general general: Mailbox does not exist The mailbox doesn't exist in mailboxes.db. That's bad. The folder does exit under the mail partition. I get the same error when trying to list the box or its ACL in cyradm. It exists, because it has submailboxes. Do any cyrus.* files exist in general/? They don't. My guess is either the mailbox has never existed, or was deleted (hence the \Noselect) I was afraid that was the cause of this mess. Do you have any sugestions? I was thinking of creating a new box, copy all the stuff there (messages, sub-boxes and their messages) and then run a 'reconstruct -r general'. Thanks for your help.

Ken Murchison wrote: 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!!!

Ok... the way I fixed the problem is the way I described below, for future record. Cyrus rocks! Thanks!!! Joao Pedras wrote: Ken Murchison wrote: Are the submailboxes missing too?
