SYNOPSIS

11       mbtool [ -C config-file ] -r mailbox...
12       mbtool [ -C config-file ] -t mailbox...
13

DESCRIPTION

15       mbtool  is  a  tool  for performing various actions on the indexes of a
16       list of mailboxes. The only actions currently supported are  -t,  which
17       will  normalize the internaldate time stamp of each record in the index
18       to GMT, and -r which will create a new unique ID for each mailbox.
19
20       Only one action may be given and at least mailbox must be listed.
21
22       It is intended that mbtool will be extended over time to  perform  more
23       such actions.
24
25       mbtool  reads  its  configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file
26       unless specified otherwise by -C.
27

OPTIONS

29       -C config-file
30              Use the specified configuration file config-file rather than the
31              default imapd.conf(5).
32
33       -t     Normalize  internaldate on all index records of all listed mail‐
34              boxes to match the Date: header if they’re off by  more  than  a
35              day,  which  can  be used to fix up a mailbox which has been re‐
36              stored from backup and lost its internaldate information.
37
38       -r     Create a new unique ID for all listed mailboxes.

43
44       mbtool -t user.jsmith
45          Normalize internaldate on all index records in user.jsmith.
