relocate_by_id¶
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
