<p>If you have just the one backend, then its mailboxes.db is
complete and accurate. All you have to do is remove the mupdate
entries from cyrus.conf AND imapd.conf and you're good to go. I
do it all the time on my local dev setup.<br>

Friends,<br>
I've got a Cyrus installation, at a client with roughly a dozen
locations around the UA, which started life about 20 years ago and
was split into a murder -- 2 frontends, 1 backend, 1 mupdate
master -- several years back. At the time of the split, there
were plans to geographically distribute portions of the mailstore,
via the murder. However, before that project got very far, the
client decided to make the leap to higher bandwidth Internet
feeds, and then to an MPLS network, so the impetus for the murder
has really gone away.<br>
<br>
At this point, with an upgrade from 2.5.11 to 3.0.X imminent, it
makes sense to un-murder (resurrect?) the systems. Is this
possible? I'm assuming it would simply involve dumping the
mailboxes.db, stripping out the murder-specific bits, and then
reloading it. Is that correct? Or, given that there's only a
single backend, is this even necessary; can I just use the
mailboxes.db from the single backend?<br>
<br>
Here's what a typical user's mailboxes.db entries look like on the
murder's mupdate master:<br>
<blockquote>
<pre>user.onlight 1 mailbox.example.com!default onlight lrswipkxtecda cyradmin lrswipkxtecda cyradmin lrswipkxtecda
user.onlight.Drafts 1 mailbox.example.com!default onlight lrswipkxtecda cyradmin lrswipkxtecda
user.onlight.Junk 1 mailbox.example.com!default onlight lrswipkxtecda cyradmin lrswipkxtecda anyone p cyradmin lrswipkxtecda
user.onlight.Sent 1 mailbox.example.com!default onlight lrswipkxtecda cyradmin lrswipkxtecda
user.onlight.Trash 1 mailbox.example.com!default onlight lrswipkxtecda cyradmin lrswipkxtecda
</pre>
</blockquote>
Here is the same excerpt from the backend's mailboxes.db:<br>
<blockquote>
<pre>user.onlight 0 default onlight lrswipkxtecda cyradmin lrswipkxtecda cyradmin lrswipkxtecda
user.onlight.Drafts 0 default onlight lrswipkxtecda cyradmin lrswipkxtecda
user.onlight.Junk 0 default onlight lrswipkxtecda cyradmin lrswipkxtecda anyone p cyradmin lrswipkxtecda
user.onlight.Sent 0 default onlight lrswipkxtecda cyradmin lrswipkxtecda
user.onlight.Trash 0 default onlight lrswipkxtecda cyradmin lrswipkxtecda
</pre>
</blockquote>
And here's a similarly typical user's mailboxes.db entries from a
non-murder setup of the same vintage:<br>
<blockquote>
<pre>user.onlight 0 default onlight lrswipcda cyradmin lrswipcda anyone p
user.onlight.Drafts 0 default onlight lrswipcda cyradmin lrswipcda anyone p
user.onlight.Sent 0 default onlight lrswipcda cyradmin lrswipcda anyone p
user.onlight.Spam 0 default onlight lrswipcda cyradmin lrswipcda anyone p
user.onlight.Trash 0 default onlight lrswipcda cyradmin lrswipcda anyone p
</pre>
</blockquote>
So, ignoring the obvious differences in some of the ACLs, it looks
to me like the backend's mailboxes.db is just fine, and is all I
would need. Is this correct?<br>
<br>
In other words, all I really need to do is update the backend's
cyrus.conf to reënable the various normal services, turn off the
mupdatepush service, and Bob's your uncle, right?<br>
<br>
Please advise,<br>
