NAME

       mbexamine - Cyrus IMAP documentation

       Examine a cyrus-format mailbox

SYNOPSIS

       mbexamine [ -C config-file ] [ -u uid ] mailbox...
       mbexamine [ -C config-file ] [ -s seqnum] mailbox...
       mbexamine [ -C config-file ] -q mailbox...
       mbexamine [ -C config-file ] -c mailbox...

DESCRIPTION

       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 <configdirectory>/mailboxes.db to locate the mailbox on disk.

OPTIONS

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

       -u uid Dump information for the given uid only.

       -s seqnum
              Dump information for the given sequence number 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.

       -c     Compare the  records  in  cyrus.index  to  the  actual  message  files  report  any
              differences.   This  can  help  detect  issues  if  messages files were manipulated
              manually and/or restored incorrectly.

EXAMPLES

       mbexamine user.jsmith
          Examine the mailbox hierarchy rooted at user.jsmith.

       mbexamine -u 00000004 user.jsmith
          Examine the mailbox hierarchy rooted at user.jsmith looking for  messages  with  UID  =
          00000004.

       mbexamine -q user.jsmith
          Examine the mailbox hierarchy rooted at user.jsmith checking quotas.

       mbexamine -c user.jsmith
          Examine  the  mailbox  hierarchy  rooted  at user.jsmith comparing index records to the
          actual message files in the mailbox directory.
