NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       reconstruct - Reconstructs IMAP mailboxes

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       /usr/bin/reconstruct [-r] mailbox...

       /usr/bin/reconstruct -m

OPTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

       Recursively reconstruct all sub-mailboxes of the mailboxes
       or mailbox prefixes given as arguments.  Rebuild the mailboxes
  file.  Uses whatever data in the existing mailboxes
       file it can collect, then scans all partitions  listed  in
       the imapd.conf(4) file for additional mailboxes.

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  reconstruct  command  rebuilds one or more IMAP mailboxes.
  When invoked with the -m switch, it  rebuilds  the
       master  mailboxes  file.   It  can be used to recover from
       almost any sort of data corruption.

       If the reconstruct command can find  existing  header  and
       index files, it attempts to preserve any data in them that
       is not derivable from the message files  themselves.   The
       state reconstruct attempts to preserve includes the option
       names, option state, and internal  date.  The  reconstruct
       command  derives  all  other  information from the message
       files.

       The reconstruct command reads  its  configuration  options
       from the imapd.conf(4) file.

       The  reconstruct  command  does not adjust the quota usage
       recorded in any  quota  root  files.   After  running  the
       reconstruct command, run the imapquota(8) command with the
       -f switch in order to fix the quota root files.
