SYNOPSIS

11       mbexamine [ -C config-file ] [ -u uid ] mailbox...
12       mbexamine [ -C config-file ] [ -s seqnum] mailbox...
13       mbexamine [ -C config-file ] -q mailbox...
14       mbexamine [ -C config-file ] -c mailbox...
15

DESCRIPTION

17       mbexamine  will  examine  the header, index, and cache files of a cyrus
18       format mailbox and dump the information contained therein.  It can also
19       limit  its  output to a specific uid or sequence number, through use of
20       the -s and -u switches.
21
22       mbexamine reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file
23       unless  specified  otherwise  by  -C.  It  uses <configdirectory>/mail‐
24       boxes.db to locate the mailbox on disk.
25

OPTIONS

27       -C config-file
28              Use the specified configuration file config-file rather than the
29              default imapd.conf(5).
30
31       -u uid Dump information for the given uid only.
32
33       -s seqnum
34              Dump information for the given sequence number only.
35
36       -q     Compare  the  quota  usage  in cyrus.index to the actual message
37              file sizes and report any differences.   If  there  are  differ‐
38              ences, the mailbox SHOULD be reconstructed.
39
40       -c     Compare  the  records in cyrus.index to the actual message files
41              report any differences.  This can help detect issues if messages
42              files were manipulated manually and/or restored incorrectly.
