Hi,

All the Cyrus IMAP servers I've ever setup - I've setup squatter to index the mailboxes.

I keep the data for it on a separate meta partition. Recently we lost that partition (but not the main mail spools) - this had a nasty effect of having Cyrus declare every mailbox as 'invalid' - because it couldn't find the mailboxes directory or data in the meta partition hierarchy (because it was empty).

I disabled squatter support in imapd.conf - and the server is happy to serve mailboxes again.

Is there any way to have the system go through and recreate the directory hierarchy that was lost?

Anyone know if it's more tolerant if the files are missing - rather than the whole directory?


And the final question is - does anyone still use squatter? - A lot of mail clients now seem to just "download everything" anyway?

Cheers,

-Karl
