cyr_expire - expire messages and duplicate delivery database entries SYNOPSIS
cyr_expire [ -C config-file ] [ -D delete-days ] -E expire-duration [ -X expunge-days ] [ -p mailbox-prefix ] [ -v ] DESCRIPTION
Cyr_expire is used to expire messages and duplicate delivery database entries. Cyr_expire also cleanses mailboxes of partially expunged messages (when using the "delayed" expunge mode). The expiration of messages is controlled by the /vendor/cmu/cyrus-imapd/expire mailbox annotation which specifies the age (in days) of messages in the given mailbox that should be deleted. Any duplicate delivery database entries which correspond to the mailbox are also deleted at the same frequency. The value of the /vendor/cmu/cyrus-imapd/expire annotation is inherited by all children of the given mailbox, so an entire mailbox tree can be expired by seting a single annotation on the root of that tree. If a mailbox does not have a /vendor/cmu/cyrus-imapd/expire annotation set on it (or does not inherit one), then no messages are expired from the mailbox. Cyr_expire reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file unless specified otherwise by -C. OPTIONS
-C config-file Read configuration options from config-file. -D delete-duration Remove previously deleted mailboxes older than delete-duration (when using the "delayed" delete mode). The value can be a floating point number, and may have a suffix to specify the unit of time. If no suffix, the value is number of days. Valid suffixes are d (days), h (hours), m (minutes) and s (seconds). -E expire-duration Prune the duplicate database of entries older than expire-duration. This value is only used for entries which do not have a corre- sponding /vendor/cmu/cyrus-imapd/expire mailbox annotation. Format is the same as delete-duration. -X expunge-duration Expunge previously deleted messages older than expunge-duration (when using the "delayed" expunge mode). Format is the same as delete-duration. -x Do not expunge messages even if using delayed expunge mode (reduces the IO hit considerably, allowing you to run cyr_expire fre- quently to clean up the duplicate database without overloading your server) -p mailbox-prefix Only find mailboxes starting with this prefix. e.g. "user.justgotspammedlots" -v Enable verbose output. -a Skip the annotation lookup, so all /vendor/cmu/cyrus-imapd/expire annotations are ignored entirely. It behaves as if they were not set, so only expire-days is considered for all mailboxes. FILES

reconstruct - reconstruct mailboxes SYNOPSIS
reconstruct [ -C config-file ] [ -p partition ] [ -x ] [ -r ] [ -f ] [ -k ] [ -s ] [ -g ] [ -G ] mailbox... reconstruct [ -C config-file ] -m DESCRIPTION
Reconstruct rebuilds one or more IMAP mailboxes. When invoked with the -m switch, it rebuilds the master mailboxes file. It can be used to recover from almost any sort of data corruption. If Reconstruct can find existing header and index files, it attempts to preserve any data in them that is not derivable from the message files themselves. The state reconstruct attempts to preserve includes the flag names, flag state, and internaldate. Reconstruct derives all other information from the message files. Reconstruct reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file unless specified otherwise by -C. Any mailbox directory under- neath the path specified in the partition-news configuration option is assumed to be in news format. Reconstruct does not adjust the quota usage recorded in any quota root files. After running reconstruct, it is advisable to run quota(8) with the -f switch in order to fix the quota root files. OPTIONS
-C config-file Read configuration options from config-file. -p partition Search for the listed (non-existant) mailboxes on the indicated partition. Create the mailboxes in the database in addition to reconstructing them. (not compatible with the use of wildcards) -x When processing a mailbox which is not in the mailbox list (e.g. via the -p or -f options), do not import the metadata from the mailbox, instead create it anew (this specifically affects at least the mailbox's seen state unique identifier, user flags, and ACL). -r Recursively reconstruct all sub-mailboxes of the mailboxes or mailbox prefixes given as arguments. -f Examine the filesystem underneath mailbox, adding all directories with a cyrus.header found there as new mailboxes. Useful for restoring mailboxes from backups. -k Preserve the cyrus.expunge file and the corresponding message files instead of deleting them. -s Adds synchronization records to the log, so the synchronization service can replicate the changes. -g Clear existing or regenerated GUIDs for all messages. -G Force regeneration of GUIDs for all messages. -m NOTE: CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE Rebuild the mailboxes file. Use whatever data in the existing mailboxes file it can scavenge, then scans all partitions listed in the imapd.conf(5) file for additional mailboxes. EXAMPLES
You want to reconstruct the index files for a user, you have recovered a deleted mail file from backup and given it a suitable name (eg user/ben-lacy/33.), but it is not visible since it is not indexed: reconstruct -r user.ben-lacy If you have the unixhierarchysep:yes option set in /etc/imapd.conf you would need to run: reconstruct -r user/ben.lacy FILES
