I have OpenXchange 7.5 running on Gentoo. Been using it since 7.5 came out and It has grown to be a really big dependency in our company. So I had to buy support mainly for upgrade reasons. This also means I had to buy SUSE Linux and end my 'all' gentoo server network.

So here is the deal. I backup my cyrus-imap server by stopping the server and rsyncing to a machine with a tape drive hooked up to it. A fairly common approach to imap backup I think. Anyways now I am trying to restore those directories on a different server (SUSE). I prefer not to go to this list if I do not have to.

I took the entire /var/spool/imap directory and /var/imap and copied it to the new server. Set up the imapd.conf to reflect the correct directory structure and tried to reconstruct. No luck I am only getting only the MailBoxes and not the actual mails.

What needs to happen for me to get this working?

I have tried the following

su - cyrus su cyrus -c "/usr/lib/cyrus/bin/reconstruct"

 this again built the mailboxes (folders)

then I tried

 su cyrus -c "/usr/lib/cyrus/bin/reconstruct -f -r user/myuser"

and still I can not see mail messages.

the -m option appears to be something I may want but that feature seems to be unavailable.

What am I missing?

Thanks,
Brett
