Sorry but one answer brings questions: 1) when you say "untar the mailbox into the new account on the destination server" do you only mean the xxx. files in /var/spool/imap/user. What about cyrus.cache, cyrus.header, cyrus.index or other db files? 2) I often read "run a reconstruct", do you mean reconstruct -m, reconstruct -r When I read man reconstruct I suppose that I must transfer only the xxx. files and then run reconstruct -m (with or without cyrus.header and cyrus.index files???) -- Alain Barthélemy [EMAIL PROTECTED] SBB-ISP
