Hi,
We're running Cyrus IMAP 2.5.12 under FreeBSD.
While 'spring cleaning' one of our IMAP servers - aside from having to
reconstruct a mailbox, I also found in 'mailboxes.db' (seen via
'ctl_mboxlist -d') we have some entries that have no corresponding
directories on the disk, e.g.
user.kpielorz.Archive.1-OldLogs 16 (null)
This doesn't appear to be causing an issue - but I can't see a way to
remove them.
e.g. If I use 'cyradm' to "cm" that mailbox, and then log in with an IMAP
client - and delete it, the client correctly deletes it - and it goes from
the shown hierarchy.
If I then expire the deleted folder with 'cyr_expire -D0 -p
DELETED.user.kpielorz' - I can see it's "really been" deleted in syslog
[and from the 'DELETED' IMAP folder] - but the entry in mailboxes.db
persists.
Is there any way of removing these? - Are they OK to leave behind?
I don't really want to have to dump / re-load mailboxes.db - there's
entries in that "16 (null)" state from a long time ago - they seem to be
getting 'left behind' when folders are deleted / expired? Some seem to be
very, very old (so it doesn't appear they'll timeout and disappear or
anything).
Anyone seem similar, or know what can be done with them?
Thanks,
-Karl
