Thank you so much Paul.
It is just that a user complained that a branch of his folders were
missing. They had deleted_flag=1. After setting this back to zero he
could see his folders again.
Although I think that perhaps this was a local corruption now.

Stop panicking.
The flags on a mailbox tell the client what flags the client may set on
messages in the mailbox. So, the deleted_flag on a mailbox indicates
that messages in the mailbox can be deleted.
Having mailboxes with deleted_flags=1 is the *normal* situation.

I have a dbmail based mail server running on mysql as the database. This

I have noticed just recently that it is marking folders in the
dbmail_mailboxes table with deleted_flag=1. This was not intentional and
seems to happen a lot. I have had to stop expunging from the database
due to fear of losing company email.
I found a huge amount of folder throughout the company that had this
flag, set. Maybe half of them, maybe 2/3. So I manually did an
update dbmail_mailboxes set deleted_flag=0 where deleted_flag=1;
in mysql to reset it all back to normal but within 2 weeks I have
another load of folders with the deleted flag set including my bosses
who insists he has not deleted those. They still appear in his mail client.
Does anybody know why it is doing this? Is it a bug?
This is critical. If the system is going wonky and I can't fix it or
stabilize it then I will have to think about migration away before it's
too late.
Help anyone?
