Hi all,

I am in the process of testing the new 2.3.3 Replication code and it has highlighted an issue which seems to relate to how I have been recovering people's mailboxes.

I occasionally get a call from a user 'xxx' saying they would like a backup copy of all their mail loaded down from tape, adjacent to their live email. What I have been doing is to create a user.xxx.Recovered folder and load their whole mailbox heirachy from backup to this location. Then I run a a recursive reconstruct to add the reloaded mailboxes into thier live account (ie reconstruct -rf user.xxx.Recovered). When I try to replicate a user which has such a 'Recovered' mailbox, the replication client bails out because it seems to treat the 'user.xxx.Recovered' mailbox as the user.xxx INBOX and trys to do a rename (which fails). There must be something stored in the cyrus.* files in a reloaded INBOX which treats such a folder differently to normal user sub-mailbox?
What should I do here?
Should I remove one of the cyrus.* files from the reloaded inbox folder before doing the reconstruct? Or am I doing something incorrect with my reloads that I should be doing differently.

Thanks
Roland
