Hi
The problem occured first when I restarted the email-server and cyrus did
not finish running ctl_mboxlist -r for three days! So I thought the
mailboxex.db must be corrupt...

I have now running the new installation (cyrus-imap 2.1.3 with postfix on
SuSE 8.0) with empty new mailboxes.
How can I inport the old mailboxes and email into the new partition?

First be sure it is *really* corrupted.  Are you sure your 2.1.3 runs with
db3 and not db4?  Cyrus had the bug that even if it runs with db4, the
error messages refer to db3.  So it could be that db4 cannot access your
db3 files even if it does not say so.

One try to test the corruptness of your mailboxes.db is to run the 2.0.16
software again for a short time and see what this sais...
