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, --uid=uid
Dump information for the given uid only.
-s seqnum, --seq=seqnum
Dump information for the given sequence number only.
-q, --check-quota
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, --check-message-files
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.
