9 ctl_mboxlist [ -C config-file ] -d [ -x ] [ -p partition ]
10 [ -f filename ]
11 ctl_mboxlist [ -C config-file ] -u [ -f filename ]
12 ctl_mboxlist [ -C config-file ] -m [ -a ] [ -w ]
13 [ -f filename ]
14 ctl_mboxlist [ -C config-file ] -v [ -f filename ]
15
17 Ctl_mboxlist is used to perform various administrative operations on
18 the mailbox list database.
19
20 Ctl_mboxlist reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5)
21 file unless specified otherwise by -C. The configdirectory option is
22 used to determine the default location of the mailbox list database.
23
25 -C config-file
26 Read configuration options from config-file.
27
28 -d Dump the contents of the database to standard output in a porta‐
29 ble flat-text format. NOTE: In Cyrus versions 2.2.13 and ear‐
30 lier, the dump format did not include the mailbox type flags,
31 breaking remote mailboxes (frontends, mupdate master, unified
32 backends) when undumped.
33
34 -x When performing a dump, remove the mailboxes dumped from the
35 mailbox list (mostly useful when specified with -p)
36
37 -p partition
38 When performing a dump, dump only thise mailboxes that live on
39 partition
40
41 -u Load the contents of the database from standard input. The
42 input MUST be in the format output using the -d option. NOTE:
43 Both the old and new formats can be loaded, but the old format
44 will break remote mailboxes.
45
46 -m For backend servers in the Cyrus Murder, synchronize the local
47 mailbox list file with the MUPDATE server.
48
49 -a When used with -m, assume the local mailboxes file is authori‐
50 tiative, that is, only change the mupdate server, do not delete
51 any local mailboxes. USE THIS OPTION WITH CARE, as it allows
52 namespace collisions into the murder.
53
54 -w When used with -m, print out what would be done but do not per‐
55 form the operations.
56
57 -v Verify the consistency of the mailbox list database and the
58 spool partition(s). Mailboxes present in the database and not
59 located on a spool partition, and those located on a spool par‐
60 tition (directory containing a valid cyrus.header file) and not
61 present in the database will be reported. Note that this func‐
62 tion is very I/O intensive.
63
64 -f filename
65 Use the database specified by filename instead of the default
66 (configdirectory/mailboxes.db).
