What does one do when the indexes for a mailbox gets hosed? I know of one person who used cyrus and when it got hosed, he came running to me to get him a mail system up and running pronto.
You reconstruct them. There's command that does that, you know. I'd suggest reading man reconstruct.
I don't run cyrus nor have I ever ran it. The guy that came running to me did try reconstruct to no avail so I suspect that that was a case of the mailboxes database going bust or something. I really have no idea though for this was over three years ago.
While we are at it, it might be good practice to change all *db options in /etc/imapd.conf from Berkely DB to skiplist prior to starting Cyrus for the first time. Something like:
annotation_db: skiplist duplicate_db: skiplist mboxlist_db: skiplist ptscache_db: skiplist quota_db: skiplist seenstate_db: skiplist subscription_db: skiplist tlscache_db: skiplist
I don't mean to turn this into a cyrus tutorial thread but since cyrus is what is bundled...
What does this do?
