mbpath¶
Translate mailbox names to filesystem paths
Synopsis¶
mbpath [ -C config-file ] [ -l ] [ -m ] [ -q ] [ -s ] [ -u | -p ] [ -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-only¶
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, --quiet¶
Suppress any error output.
- -s, --stop¶
If any error occurs, stop processing the list of mailboxes and exit.
- -u, --userids¶
The specified mailbox-names are userids, not mailboxes.
- -p, --paths¶
The specified mailbox-names are UNIX mailbox paths, not mailboxes.
Selectors¶
- -A, --archive¶
Show the mailbox archive path
- -D, --data¶
Show the mailbox data path (default)
- -M, --metadata¶
Show the mailbox metadata path (same as -m)
- -S, --sieve¶
Show the user sieve scripts path
- -U, --user-files¶
Show the user files path (seen, sub, etc)
- -a, --all¶
Show all paths, as if all selectors were specified
Examples¶
mbpath user.jsmith
Display the data path for mailbox user.jsmith.
/var/spool/cyrus/user/jsmith
mbpath -M user.jsmith
Display the metadata path for mailbox user.jsmith.
/var/spool/meta/imap/user/jsmith
mbpath -u -S jsmith
Display the sieve scripts path for user jsmith.
/var/spool/sieve/j/jsmith
Files¶
/etc/imapd.conf, <configdirectory>/mailboxes.db
