So what > exactly went wrong? ---- I cleared out the maillogs which grew massive very quickly but it was something like Unable to operate in PRIVATE ENVIRONMENT - a bdb error. I would have thought that the 4.1.25-8 and the 4.1.25-8.1 wouldn't have broken things but it did. I did compile it on the former. I would presume that until I 'exclude' db4 from updating, a yum update command would break it all over again. ---- > I know that there is a problem in the rpm which affects poeople who change > database configuration in /etc/imapd.conf and the rpm should convert > databases on the fly but doesn't always do it correctly.

Healing a broken BDB environment has been discussed on > this list recently and I'm no expert in BDB. ---- the only error my standard /var/log/maillog reports is user.root not having a default sieve script - hardly something that concerns me. I can run. su - cyrus -c '/usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/reconstruct -rf user.craig' until doomsday and it will not pick up the 'mail folders' in /var/spool/imap/c/user/craig/logs - I can't figure this out and none of the documentation suggests otherwise. ---- > > > > > 3.

I am told that on my account, the system doesn't support subscriptions. I can't figure out what else to try.
