Overview

Mbexamine will examine the header, index, and cache files of a cyrus format mailbox and dump the information contained therein. It can also limit its output to a specific uid or sequence number, through use of the -s and -u switches. Mbexamine reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file unless specified otherwise by -C. It uses the mboxlist database to locate the mailbox on disk.

Options

-C config-file

Read configuration options from config-file.

-s

Dump information for the given sequence number only.

-u

Dump information for the given uid only.

-q

Compare the quota usage in cyrus.index to the actual message file sizes and report any differences. If there are differences, the mailbox SHOULD be reconstructed.

Files

/etc/imapd.conf
