NAME

       ctl_mboxlist - perform operations on the mailbox list database

SYNOPSIS

       ctl_mboxlist [ -C config-file ] -d [ -x ] [ -p partition ]
		    [ -f filename ]
       ctl_mboxlist [ -C config-file ] -u [ -f filename ]
       ctl_mboxlist [ -C config-file ] -m [ -a ] [ -w ] [ -i ]
		    [ -f filename ]
       ctl_mboxlist [ -C config-file ] -v [ -f filename ]

DESCRIPTION

       Ctl_mboxlist is used to perform various administrative operations on the mailbox list database.

       Ctl_mboxlist reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file unless specified otherwise by -C.  The configdirectory option is
       used to determine the default location of the mailbox list database.

OPTIONS

       -C config-file
	      Read configuration options from config-file.

       -d     Dump the contents of the database to standard output in a portable flat-text format.  NOTE: In Cyrus versions  2.2.13  and  earlier,
	      the dump format did not include the mailbox type flags, breaking remote mailboxes (frontends, mupdate master, unified backends) when
	      undumped.

       -x     When performing a dump, remove the mailboxes dumped from the mailbox list (mostly useful when specified with -p)

       -p partition
	      When performing a dump, dump only thise mailboxes that live on partition

       -u     Load the contents of the database from standard input.  The input MUST be in the format output using the -d option.  NOTE: Both  the
	      old and new formats can be loaded, but the old format will break remote mailboxes.

       -m     For backend servers in the Cyrus Murder, synchronize the local mailbox list file with the MUPDATE server.

       -a     When  used  with	-m,  assume the local mailboxes file is authoritiative, that is, only change the mupdate server, do not delete any
	      local mailboxes.	USE THIS OPTION WITH CARE, as it allows namespace collisions into the murder.

       -w     When used with -m, print out what would be done but do not perform the operations.

       -i     When used with -m, asks for verification before deleting local mailboxes.

       -v     Verify the consistency of the mailbox list database and the spool partition(s). Mailboxes present in the database and not located on
	      a  spool	partition,  and those located on a spool partition (directory containing a valid cyrus.header file) and not present in the
	      database will be reported.  Note that this function is very I/O intensive.

       -f filename
	      Use the database specified by filename instead of the default (configdirectory/mailboxes.db).

NAME

       cyr_expire - expire messages and duplicate delivery database entries

SYNOPSIS

       cyr_expire [ -C config-file ] [ -D delete-days ] -E expire-days [ -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-days
	      Remove previously deleted mailboxes older than delete-days (when using the "delayed" delete mode).

       -E expire-days
	      Prune the duplicate database of entries older than expire-days.  This value is only used for entries which do not have a correspond-
	      ing /vendor/cmu/cyrus-imapd/expire mailbox annotation.

       -X expunge-days
	      Expunge previously deleted messages older than expunge-days (when using the "delayed" expunge mode).

	-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.
