NAME

       mbpath - Cyrus IMAP documentation

       Translate mailbox names to filesystem paths

SYNOPSIS

       mbpath [ -C config-file ] [ -l ] [ -m ] [ -q ] [ -s ] [ -u ] [ -a | -A | -M | -S | -U ] [ mailbox-names... ]

DESCRIPTION

       Given  a  mailbox  name  or  a  space  separated list of mailbox names, mbpath outputs the
       filesystem path(s) of the mailbox.  By default, the mailboxes’ data  partition  paths  are
       shown (same as -D).  See Selectors for selecting which filesystem path(s) to output.

       mbpath  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).

       -l     Local mailboxes only (exits with error for remote or nonexistent mailboxes)

       -m     Output  the  path  to  the  metadata  files  (if different from the message files).
              Legacy, use -M.

       -q     Suppress any error output.

       -s     If any error occurs, stop processing the list of mailboxes and exit.

       -u     The specified mailbox-names are users, not mailboxes.

SELECTORS

       -A     Show the mailbox archive path

       -D     Show the mailbox data path (default)

       -M     Show the mailbox metadata path (same as -m)

       -S     Show the user sieve scripts path

       -U     Show the user files path (seen, sub, etc)

       -a     Show all paths, as if all selectors were specified

EXAMPLES

       mbpath user.jsmith
          Display the data path for mailbox user.jsmith.

       mbpath -M user.jsmith
          Display the metadata path for mailbox user.jsmith.

       mbpath -u -S jsmith
          Display the sieve scripts path for user jsmith.

FILES
