Thank you for replying. :) I was trying to simulate things that could happen during (ab)normal operation (e.g. fs corruption). I am aware of and use cyradm as well as the blessed Mail::IMAPClient module from CPAN. > You can (using cyradm) delete the old mailbox name and create the new > mailbox name.

I will play with reconstruct some more, but I don't think I could even fire up cyradm once mailboxes.db was corrupted. > Why should they work?

When filesystems get corrupted they break things too. I just wanted to see how easy it would be to recover from because my neck will be on the chopping block if it breaks in production (and I can't fix it). :) Again, I appreciate your informative response. Have a great week(end)! Cheers, Mike
