   I got my mailboxes.db  mangled because of a file system problem.
   I cannot even delete or modify quota of some accounts anymore, it tells me
   mailbox format is invalid.
   How can I rebuild the whole mailboxes.db file?
   is it possible to fix mailboxes.db ?
   thanks

There are several different methods. Among them:

You can dump mailboxes.db (ctl_mboxlist -d) and then undump it after
removing all the database files.

You can delete mailboxes.db and ask "reconstruct -r -f" to recreate
it. (You'll have to give reconstruct -r -f some starting places,
though.)
