A few days ago I decided to rebuild my main server and to my dismay while I was doing that my main data drive became corrupted - I know, I should probably have unplugged it but I didn't think it would matter as I wasn't going to touch that drive. If you are interested, I traced the problem to a stick of ram that must have come loose when I took the top of the machine (unlucky is my middle name). Any way on with the question. My old server was using courier imap + qmail + procmail delivering into maildirs. I have backups of the maildirs and I was wondering how I can put the backup mail back into the system.
I notice that there are control files such as courierimapsubscribed and courierimapuiddb which contain lists of messages and folders. The folders on looks quite obvious but the db file is a little confusing. My main concern is that the format of the message name is a little different between what I get now eg
1074616521.M124960P4905V0000000000000303I0003036D_9.compost,S=2603:2,RS
and what I used to get
1039268525.4279_2604.compost.home.crazysquirrel.com,S=16015
although they are superficially similar.
A worse problem is that the drive that became corrupted still contains most of the data so I am (by hand) recovering the mail I lost between the last back up and now. These files have no recoverable name so I was wondering what I should call them?
I am a software developer and willing to write a bit of code to mangle / generate file names if necessary. I'll stop rambling now though :o)
Thanks,
Graham
