I've been waiting for one of the veterans on the list to reply to this one. Maybe I've missed the post. I've been using Cyrus in testing for ~1.5 months. I ran into a 'problem' during testing that may be related to the one you've encountered. I started out using the bdb backend. During testing, I moved (as in /bin/mv) a physical mailbox (in /var/spool/imap), and then tried to pop a message. It looked like the daemon tried to open the non-existent directory and when it failed, it wrote an error something like this in the mailboxes.db (where the mailbox def for the directory I moved was supposed to be): ____SNIP____ System I/O error: no such file or directory ____SNIP____ None of the methods that I tried (dumping to text, recovery, etc.) worked. FWIW, I tried the same thing with the skiplist backend and it didn't have this problem. Cheers, Mike
