HI all:<br><br>I'm running Cyrus IMAP 2.3.7 in a CentOS 5.3 box. We have about 400 users, most of them POP3 users but some are IMAP users with their mail stored at the mailserver.<br>I recently had a out of space problem, so I removed so many unnecesary files (logs, backups, among others) and then restarted mail services (MailScanner, MySQL, ClamAV, Cyrus IMAP, etc)... but I had this problem with Cyrus IMAP:<br>
<br># /etc/init.d/cyrus restart<br>Apagando cyrus-imapd: [ OK ]<br>Exportando la base de datos cyrus-imapd : [ OK ]<br><br>... ...<br>... ...<br><br>this takes so long that I decided to investigate what was the problem and I found that /var/lib/imap/db uses 21 GB. Is is normal that uses so many space? I found around 1700 files named log.000* and I just decided to not use them:<br>
<br># cd /var/lib/imap<br># mv db db2<br># cp -a db.backup db<br># /etc/init.d/cyrus-imapd start<br><br>And then Cyrus IMAP started correctly (because /var/lib/imap/db.backup ocuped just a few KB) but now IMAP users are telling me that their e-mails are gone! However I can see that all their mails are under /var/spool/imap/domain/X/XDOMAIN/u/user using a few hundreds of MB so I can believe that their emails aren't gone.<br>
<br>What happened to users emails? How can I recover them?<br><br>I would appreciate some help, thanks<br>
