I would put the history of names that it had in the cyrus.header too, so it can be recovered. Harder to find individual mailboxes, sure. I don't care though. We should be doing backups better, and good tooling will fix this. The advantages of super fast atomic deep renames outweigh the problems. Bron. -- Bron Gondwana br...@fastmail.fm
