Thank you. I am in a similar situation like yours, because the server is still in test mode, so I can apply this solution. Thanks for help! :)

Have a nice day,

Hi,

I tried with this:

localhost.localdomain> reconstruct user.mailboxname
reconstruct: Operating System Error

The imapd.log file appended the following line:

Feb 26 16:08:48 nexus imapd[30158]: Reconstructing 'user.massimiliano_rovatti' (not recursive) for user 'postmaster'

Sorry for boring... I would like to get out of this problem without deleting the entire database...



I encountered this exact situation (directories manually deleted, leading to an unreconstructable mailbox) about a month ago. The solution we chose was to export the mailboxes db (ctl_mboxlist -d), delete the bogus entries from the textfile, then import it back in.


However, this may not be the Right Way to fix it. In our case the server was down anyway (the damaged mailbox had killed an overnight quota check and corrupted the quota db), so this "brute force and ignorance" approach made sense at the time.
