SYNOPSIS

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

ble 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) 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 authori

tiative, 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 per

form the operations.

-f filename

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