Mailboxes File
The mailboxes file in the configuration directory is the most critical
file in the entire Cyrus IMAP system. It contains a sorted list of each
mailbox on the server, along with the mailboxes quota root and ACL.
Because the ACL is security-critical information that cannot be
reconstructed from information stored elsewhere, there is no program to
recover from a damaged mailboxes file.
To protect the contents of the mailboxes, we suggest making frequent,
even hourly backups of the mailboxes file to some other part of the disk.
