I guess that person had another problem then...probably this one mentioned in the docs... sorry, i have not used cyrus yet. thanks for the information craig. ----------------------------------- 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. ------------------------------------
