NAME

       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

NAME

       squatter - create SQUAT indexes for mailboxes

SYNOPSIS

       squatter [ -C config-file ] [ -r ] [ -s ] [ -i ] [ -a ] [ -v ] mailbox...

DESCRIPTION

       Squatter  creates  a new SQUAT index for one or more IMAP mailboxes.  The SQUAT index is a unified index of all of the header and body text
       of each message a given mailbox.  This index is used to significantly reduce IMAP SEARCH times on a mailbox.

       Squatter creates an index of ALL messages in the mailbox, not just those since the last time that it was run (i.e., it does NOT	do  incre-
       mental  updates).   Any messages appended to the mailbox after squatter is run, will NOT be included in the index.  To include new messages
       in the index, squatter must be run again.  For large and active mailboxes, it is recommended to run squatter periodically as  an  EVENT	in
       cyrus.conf(5)

       NOTE: Messages and mailboxes that have not been indexed CAN still be SEARCHed, just not as quickly as those with a SQUAT index.

       Squatter 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.

       -r     Recursively create indexes for all sub-mailboxes of the mailboxes or mailbox prefixes given as arguments.

       -s     Skip mailboxes whose index file is older than their current squat file (within a small time delta).

       -i     Incremental updates where squat indexes already exist.

       -a     Only create indexes for mailboxes which have the shared /vendor/cmu/cyrus-imapd/squat annotation set to "true".

	      The  value  of  the /vendor/cmu/cyrus-imapd/squat annotation is inherited by all children of the given mailbox, so an entire mailbox
	      tree can be indexed (or not indexed) by setting a single annotation on the root of that tree with a value of  "true"  (or  "false").
	      If  a  mailbox does not have a /vendor/cmu/cyrus-imapd/squat annotation set on it (or does not inherit one), then the mailbox is not
	      indexed.	In other words, the implicit value of /vendor/cmu/cyrus-imapd/squat is "false".

       -v     Increase the verbosity of progress/status messages.
