       mbtool - Cyrus IMAP documentation

       intro

SYNOPSIS

          mbtool [ -C config-file ] -r mailbox...
          mbtool [ -C config-file ] -t mailbox...

DESCRIPTION

       mbtool is a tool for performing various actions on the indexes of a list of mailboxes. The
       only actions currently supported are -t, which will normalize the internaldate time  stamp
       of  each  record  in  the  index to GMT, and -r which will create a new unique ID for each
       mailbox.

       Only one action may be given and at least mailbox must be listed.

       It is intended that mbtool will be extended over time to perform more such actions.

       mbtool reads its configuration options out of  the  imapd.conf(5)  file  unless  specified
       otherwise by -C.

OPTIONS

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

       -t, --normalize-internaldate
              Normalize internaldate on all index records of all listed mailboxes  to  match  the
              Date:  header  if  they're  off  by  more than a day, which can be used to fix up a
              mailbox which has been restored from backup and lost its internaldate information.

       -r, --new-uniqueid
              Create a new unique ID for all listed mailboxes.  Only works for legacy mailboxes.

EXAMPLES

          mbtool -r user.jsmith
          Create new UUID for mailbox user.jsmith.

          mbtool -t user.jsmith
          Normalize internaldate on all index records in user.jsmith.
