Re: rm'd the account instead of dm

reconstruct/cyrreconstruct.....if you rm or rm -rf a mailbox you need to recreate the tree manually (mkdir) ctl_mboxlist -d |grep user.blah to find all their mailboxes, once you've crecreated them int eh foilesystem with the right permissions you can use reconstruct to reconstruct the cyrus.* files.

the best thing is to not let incompetent people onto the server in the first place ;)

IMHO the easiest way to correct this would be:

        - create another cyrus account
        - mkdir /var/imap/user/ericwa
        - change owner and group to whatever your cyrus uses
        - copy <newaccount>/cyrus.* to /var/imap/user/ericwa
        - reconstruct -r user.ericwa
        - delete both mailboxes


I tried this.  And, I came out with the same errors as before.  So,
since Iam the only user on the system, at the moment, I deleted the
mailboxes.db.  I only like this solution because it is me on the system,
and no one else.

What are the other options for when I install Cyrus onto the real mail
server?  I don't want someone else to make the mistake I made.

Thanks for the help!
