Oh God, Patrick if you know the magic incantation please say it. I haven't been able to convince Cyrus to recognize a new mail folder restored from back-up other than exporting the mailbox.db into text editing it and reimporting the db. Can I do this without stopping Cyrus? :-o What I would love to have is an export/import API. Or better said, a back-up one. Ok, probably it will be really difficult to implement such a thing but it'll be a real boost to my productivity. ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
