I make some tests and find problems moving mailboxes with users online: ( Cyrus 2.4.8 )
Move with RENAME user/lucas.carraro user/lucas.carraro server2.prevnet!default In frontends and backends: ......... allowusermoves: 1 disconnect_on_vanished_mailbox: 1 ........ When i move from server1!default to server2!default In server1 lock remains: <config_directory>/lock/lucas.carraro.lock <config_directory>/lock/lucas.carraro/Sent.lock <config_directory>/lock/lucas.carraro/Project.lock <config_directory>/lock/lucas.carraro/Trash.lock <config_directory>/lock/lucas.carraro/Drafts.lock <config_directory>/lock/lucas.carraro/IBM.lock In server1 <spool_imap>/l/user/lucas^carraro/ remains with messages, but subfolders are deleted. * All mailboxes moves to server2 , and all delivery continue normally in server2 all deleted mailboxes DELETED/user/lucas.carraro/ moves normally to server2 If i try to move back: (server2 -> server1) I receive a error: "Server unavaiable for this operation" if i remove in server1 <config>/lib/imap/lock/lucas.carrar* and <spool>/imap/l/user/lucas^carraro/* i can move all mailboxes from server2 to server1. But locks and principal mailbox remains in sever2. * Exist another parameter to force discconnect ?
