Re: Cyrus-imapd can't find my mail
I'm pretty certain this is because it just doesn't know where to look, but I'm not sure how to tell it :-( No, it will not work that way because Cyrus uses a different message store format. You may search the list archives for more on this topic.

Hello,
I use the following handy one liner :
lsof -p `pidof imapd|tr ' ' ','` | \
grep '/var/lib/cyrus/user/.*\.seen$' | \
awk '{ print $9 }' | sort | uniq | \
cut -f7 -d'/' | cut -f1 -d'.'
with cyrus 2.2 under ubuntu server, YMMV !
Thanks, using lsof is a good idea, can be used to gather other useful
imap connection informations as well.

Re: Mail not visible after restore from backup.
Are you sure you've running a version of reconstruct which matches your installation? I ask because the man page for reconstruct from 2.3.16 shows both -r and -f as permissible: -r Recursively reconstruct all sub-mailboxes of the mailboxes or mailbox prefixes given as arguments. -f Examine the filesystem underneath mailbox, adding all directories with a cyrus.header found there as new mailboxes. Useful for restoring mailboxes from backups. from http://www.cyrusimap.org/docs/cyrus-imapd/2.3.16/man/reconstruct.8.php Depending upon how you installed Cyrus, from package or source, and which OS/distro you're using, there may be versions of binary utilities laying around from older versions of the software. We've certainly seen that before.

cyrus/chk_cyrus found messages and deleted messages differs on master and slave
Hi, since a few days do I see chk_cyrus messages on one single subfolder sent_mail (440 MB) of a user's mailbox in my mail.err each morning at the same time (6:30am): -- Sep 15 06:31:16 grady cyrus/chk_cyrus[25398]: user.userxyz.sent_mail uid 2 found - adding [...] Sep 15 06:31:50 grady cyrus/chk_cyrus[25398]: user.userxyz.sent_mail uid 1768 found - adding -- The reported UIDs on the folder differ from day to day, but I always do see about 900 log entries each morning. Looking with an imap client into this userxyz.sent_mail subfolder all messages except of one message seem to be deleted by the user. System here is cyrus 2.4.12 Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with master and slave; I've set delete_mode and expunge_mode to delayed, to be able to restored deleted messages and folders (expire is 7 days). The strange thing is now that on the replica/slave side the folder userxyz.sent_mail is empty inside the filesystem in /var/spool/cyrus/mail/u/user/userxyz/sent_mail/ (exepect this single message) and the whole content of the send_mail folder has moved to /var/spool/cyrus/mail/u/DELETED/user/userxyz/sent_mail/54101FA9/. BUT on the primary side I still do see 1774 messages in the filesystem userxyz.sent_mail and the same number of messages in the DELETE folder unter /var/spool/cyrus/mail/u/DELETED/user/userxyz/sent_mail/54101FA9/. I don't understand that. If I believe in the timestamp of the folder /var/spool/cyrus/mail/u/DELETED/user/userxyz/sent_mail/ on primary and slave it was created at Sep. 10th. The chk_cyrus messages started later at Sep. 13th. Second strange thing: su - cyrus -c /usr/sbin/unexpunge -l user.userxyz.sent_mail on the master doesn't show any deleted UIDs. If I check for hardlinks I do see three UIDs hardlinked to the same inode #10897103: # ls -li /var/spool/cyrus/mail/u/user/userxyz/sent_mail/1766. 10897103 -rw--- 3 cyrus mail 5520 Sep 9 23:08 /var/spool/cyrus/mail/u/user/userxyz/sent_mail/1766. #ls -li /var/spool/cyrus/mail/u/user/userxyz/Gesendete\ Elemente/1807. 10897103 -rw--- 3 cyrus mail 5520 Sep 9 23:08 /var/spool/cyrus/mail/u/user/userxyz/Gesendete Elemente/1807. # ls -li /var/spool/cyrus/mail/u/DELETED/user/userxyz/sent_mail/54101FA9/1766. 10897103 -rw--- 3 cyrus mail 5520 Sep 9 23:08 /var/spool/cyrus/mail/u/DELETED/user/userxyz/sent_mail/54101FA9/1766. I don't know what the user did exactly, but I think he moved/copied the content from the sent_mail subfolder to another subfolder Gesendete Elemente, to merge different Sent folders created by different imap clients. After that he deleted the mails inside the original sent_mail. No problem at all, but what's the plan to get rid of the chk_cyrus messages? They do make me nervous. A reconstruct -r user.userxyz.sent_mail might restore deleted mails which might confuse the user? Deleting sent_mail subfolder via an imap client again to moved the whole sent_mail folder to DELETED and create an empty new one? Andy ideas?

I ask because the man page for reconstruct from 2.3.16 shows both -r and -f as permissible: −r Recursively reconstruct all sub-mailboxes of the mailboxes or mailbox prefixes given as arguments. −f Examine the filesystem underneath mailbox, adding all directories with a cyrus.header found there as new mailboxes. Useful for restoring mailboxes from backups. from http://www.cyrusimap.org/docs/cyrus-imapd/2.3.16/man/reconstruct.8.php Depending upon how you installed Cyrus, from package or source, and which OS/distro you're using, there may be versions of binary utilities laying around from older versions of the software. We've certainly seen that before.

Re: cyrus/chk_cyrus found messages and deleted messages differs on master and slave
Hi, some more info. I've copied the sent_mail folder to a testmachine and started a chk_cyrus. Same messages in /var/log/mail.err: cyrus/chk_cyrus[15900]: user.userxyz.sent_mail uid 201 found - adding [...] Btw: I figured out that rsyslog skipped some logging. So chk_cyrus reports always the same amount of messages: Sep 15 18:59:45 test rsyslogd-2177: imuxsock begins to drop messages from pid 15900 due to rate-limiting In the sent_mail folder there was one single messages, which is shown in an imap client. This is message 1. in the file system and was created after the user deleted all messages in the sent_mail folder. --- Sep 10 11:53:46 primary cyrus/imaps[19286]: Deleted mailbox user.userxyz.sent_mail -rw--- 2 cyrus mail 543 2014-09-12 10:18 var/spool/cyrus/mail/u/user/userxyz/sent_mail/1. --- It seems that something strange happened while deleting the 440 MB big sent_mail folder. The cyrus databases inside the sent_mail started counting at number 1 again. Using Thunderbird I've copied another message inside the sent_mail folder and this message got number 2. and overwrote the old deleted 2. messages, which is still hang around in the file system together with the other ~1700 messages. As the deleted mails in the sent_mail folder are hardlinked three times 10897103 -rw--- 3 cyrus mail 5520 Sep 9 23:08 /var/spool/cyrus/mail/u/user/userxyz/sent_mail/1766. 10897103 -rw--- 3 cyrus mail 5520 Sep 9 23:08 /var/spool/cyrus/mail/u/user/userxyz/Gesendete Elemente/1807. 10897103 -rw--- 3 cyrus mail 5520 Sep 9 23:08 /var/spool/cyrus/mail/u/DELETED/user/userxyz/sent_mail/54101FA9/1766. what would happen if I start a cyrus expire on the DELETED.user.userxyz.sent_mail folder by hand: /usr/sbin/cyrus expire -E 1 -X 0 -D 0 -p DELETED.user.userxyz.sent_mail This would be what will happen in a few days, when nightly cyrus expire is started by cyrus events and the deleted messages are older than 7 days. So question is what happens to file files in u/user/userxyz/sent_mail in u/DELETED/user/userxyz/sent_mail/54101FA9/ and in u/user/userxyz/Gesendete Elemente/ ? The files in subfolder Gesendete Elemente subfolder must not be deleted. I think the user copied all mails from sent_mail to Gesendete Elemente to merge, so he wants to keep those mails. Or another way: just delete user.userxyz.sent_mail subfolder using cyradm. The sent_mail folder will be moved into a subfolder under u/DELETED/user/userxyz/sent_mail/ and will only keep message 1., because all other emails are not know by the cyrus databases in user.userxyz.sent_mail. This would solve the chk_cyrus error messages. But what happens to hardlink 1807. then? Will cyrus keep these mails in Gesendete Elemente then? Third way: reconstruct -r on the u/user/userxyz/sent_mail folder and delete the complete folder by hand afterwards?
