So do you think the problem several of us are having with relocate_by_id
not apparently doing anything is because we need to create the base
mailbox in uuid and THEN run relocate_by_id to move the emails and

No, I don't think that's the problem. The "create the mailboxes first" thing
that worked before was because the mailboxes were broken in such a way that they
effectively didn't exist. It's nothing to do with the usual relocate process.
It seems like maybe the mailbox name you provided to relocate_by_id is just not
matching anything, so it does nothing (and succeeds at it). Which I consider a
bug -- if it doesn't find anything to do, it should say so, not successfully do
nothing.
I'm not sure at a glance how it expects mailbox arguments to be spelled (whether in the "admin
namespace" or "internal namespace"). Ideally it would be in the admin namespace,
like the other tools, but my hunch is that it might be expecting internal namespace spelling. If
so, that's also a bug...
What if you use the -u option to specify users by username rather than by
mailbox name?
Something like: relocate_by_id -u [email protected]
It looks like that's what our tests do, and those are fine. The only example
in the man page also uses -u. I guess we've assumed the tool will be mostly
used on userids, and still have some rough edges left when invoked on
mailboxes. I've opened https://github.com/cyrusimap/cyrus-imapd/issues/4014 to
get them smoothed off. In the meantime, please just use the -u option and
userids.
Well I just tried the steps above and step 1 failed. I can't create the
mailbox in cyradm if it already exists in the old storage.
That's what I'd expect. This mailbox does already exist, so of course you
can't create it again. :)

OK. We are making progress... :)
Specifying the mailbox by username worked...up to a point. However it
looks like relocate expects to find a xapianactive directory and it died
when it didn't find it. Below is what I saw in the command line.

So, does this mean we have to convert to use xapian to use relocate? I
think we would be fine with that, but we haven't yet moved from squatter
to zapian.
Thanks. Have a great weekend.
