Re: How to restore IMAP mailboxes

Thanks. I was also considering starting a second version of cyrus listening on different port (144) and giving it a config to point it to /mnt/var (old /var mounted on /mnt). There seem to be several utilities out there for synchronising mailboxes between two IMAP instances. Any suggestions as to which to choose? TIA,

Maybe this thread can help ?

I used to do it more or less that same way on older Cyrus servers, and
that worked. Just remember that subscriptions are lost and that all
messages are unseen.
