<p>Hello,</p>
<p>A week or so back I posted here about issues I was having with
cyrus-imapd 2.3 after changing the "altnamespace" variable in
imapd.conf to "yes" in order to set up shared mailboxes. It
threw a monkey wrench into my server and caused a lot of
problems for a couple of days Things have settled down but still
some residual problems for users in their email clients, e.g.
Inbox contents disappears or does not show recent mail. Also
deleting hangs for a long time.<br>
</p>
<p>I'm considering changing "altnamespace" back to "no" hoping it
will clear up those issues. <br>
</p>
<p>Any thoughts as to what I can expect if I do this? All input is
appreciated!<br>
</p>
<p>Thanks!<br>
</p>

If you do this, you'll need to revert your sieve scripts, if any, to
be compatible with the old setting. After updating the settings in
/etc/imapd.conf, you should to run the 'translatesieve' Perl script
(in the /tools directory) like so:<br>
<blockquote>
<pre>$ /<path to Cyrus binaries>/translatesieve -u -a
</pre>
</blockquote>
As explained in the man page, you should first use "Dry Run" mode,
via the "-n" flag, to see what would be changed.<br>
<br>
Prior to use, you may wish to save backups of your sieve scripts.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
