Presuming that a missing tmp folder was the only issue, this issue
would have no effect on the read/unread status of each message,
and what was in reply to what. All of that metadata is tracked
elsewhere.
Can you tell me what such a file would look like, maybe it is
somewhere in the raw data of the data recovery?
For future reference from what I
understand each Maildir folder and child has 'new' 'cur' and
'tmp' folders.
As well as 'courierimapkeywords/' 'courierimapsubscribed'
'courierimapuiddb'
courierimapuiddb and courierimapsubscribed exist only in a top
level maildir. The other stuff exists in there and in every
folder.
To some extent automatic creation of a
./tmp/ folder would seem to me to be logical instead of that
being a fatal error, but I highly doubt that I have the full
picture.
This happens automatically when one creates a new maildir using
the maildirmake command.
Yeah so here we had a Maildir that was recovered from a crashed
disk and I guess they ignored tmp or something, given that I
seemed to have a complete filesystems I had hoped to just boot
from it but I quickly discovered that things like /bin/bash were
not actually valid ELFs anymore...
Thanks again!
