RELOCATE_BY_ID(8)

NAME
relocate_by_id - Cyrus IMAP documentation

Relocate mailbox trees by their mailbox ids

SYNOPSIS

relocate_by_id [ -C config-file ] [ -n ] [ -q ] [ -u ] [ mailbox-names... ]

DESCRIPTION

Given a mailbox name or a space separated list of mailbox names, relocate_by_id relocates the mailbox and its submailboxes to directory trees hashed by mailbox id rather than hashed by mailbox name.

relocate_by_id reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file unless specified otherwise by -C. It uses <configdirectory>/mailboxes.db to locate the mailboxes on disk.

OPTIONS

-C config-file
    Use the specified configuration file config-file rather than the default imapd.conf(5).

-n, --dry-run
    Do NOT make any changes. Just list which directories will be relocated.

-q, --quiet
    Run quietly. Suppress any error output.

-u, --userids
    The specified mailbox-names are users, not mailboxes. User metadata directories will also be relocated.

EXAMPLES

relocate_by_id -u jsmith
Relocate all mailbox and metadata directories for user jsmith.

FILES

/etc/imapd.conf, <configdirectory>/mailboxes.db
