This works fine ,thanks. Although I do have one question left. The 
*ctl_cyrusdb allows *to checkpint with the -c flag and to recover with 
the -r option. From what I understand checkpointing is needed to have a 
good backup if something goes wrong. And the recover restores all 
database files from the latest checkpoint. But what happens with changes 
or new mail received between the last checkpoint and failure point?

kind regards,
Pieter
