I am using Thunderbird to move messages from my Cyrus system on 192.168.1.109 to my dbmail system on 192.168.1.78. I have set up an account in Thunderbird for both the Cyrus user and corresponding dbmail user. I then used Thunderbird to create new folders in dbmail that match the folders I had under Cyrus for a particular user. Then I used Thunderbird to copy the emails from the Cyrus folders to the new corresponding dbmail folder by doing a [select all] menu option to select all emails in the cyrus folder, then right clicking on all the emails highlighted, and then clicking on the [copy to] menu option that appears, and finally navigating the Thunderbird tree menu that appears to click on the new corresponding folder in dbmail. Then thunderbird copies all emails from the Cyrus folder to the corresponding new dbmail folder.

I have also downloaded and installed the DBMA administration tool. I then twice ran a [database cleanup] from the DBMA tool, which seems to have set the status on all emails in all folders in the dbmail system to status 3. I looked at the DBMA admin doc and it indicates a database cleanup would mark all orphaned records with a status 3, (eg marked for deletion status). All the emails copied from the Cyrus system to the corresponding folder in dbmail no longer appear in Thunderbird, but all emails in the dbmail system does appear in the DBMA tool, but with a 3 status. Does this mean that all the emails copied from Cyrus to dbmail are orphaned?

Does anyone have any idea about what happened, and where I should go from here?

Regards,

LelandJ
