I tracked this down last night. Since I was also fighting SASL (my old SASL had been connected to a postgres database, the new one wasn't compiled to support that, so I was having to learn a different way to set passwords) I had gotten [EMAIL PROTECTED] to work and be able to login, and apparently if you login with one virtual domain you can't do anything to any other virtual domain, even if you are listed as the admin user. I setup a password for the user cyrus and set it to be the admin user and was able to work with all the different domains. I did run into one other bug that I couldn't figure out. no user was able to modify their INBOX (delete items, etc). I could copy messages to folders, but not delete anything. to get back online (and since this is just my home machine) I ended up setting anyone all acl's on every inbox. it sounds like I really need to upgrade to 2.3.x, I downloaded it, but haven't compiled it yet.

I don't know if 2.2 supports virtual domains. You'd better check that. I think there is a bug in reconstruct with virtual domains.

it would be really nice to retain the seen state, I don't care about duplicates
and don't have sieve in use. what else would I loose?

Re: need help recovering from disk crash
Hi,
If you have a dump of the mailbox's (ctl_mboxlist) then you can restore
those, personally I back those up weekly as well as /var/spool/imap
If you don't, re-add the users, then do reconstruct -r -f user.username
(obviously replace username with the username in question) and it will
reconstruct the mailbox and find all the folders for you and add them to
the mailboxes db.
Then do that on all your users, and you should be good.
As far as 2.3.9 vs. 2.2... if you're only dealing with the message
spool... it should be easy to massage it together. if you're trying to
bring back duplicate, sieve, seen, etc... it might be a hassle.
Rather vague email I just wrote... but you seemed to have the basics...
if not reply all.

need help recovering from disk crash
I lost my OS drive on my home server, the mail partition was on a raid array
and survived, I have some of the rest of the config info, but it looks like I
lost the configdir contents (the directories are still there, but the files are
missing) I may be able to recover some stuff from lost+found if I can get hints
on what to search for.
now, to make things more interesting, the old system was running gentoo and has
cyrus 2.3.recent on it
the new system is ubuntu with 2.2.something on it (I couldn't get a recent
gentoo installer to run reliably on this hardware)
can I make this work or should I compile 2.3.9?
with reconstruct -m now working how can I recover the mailbox?
the good news is that I only have 3 users on the system (with about 3G of mail
in several hundred folders betwen us) so manual fixes may be practical
