How to export data from mailboxes.db

[brad]

As the cyrus user run:

ctl_mboxlist -d > filename

'filename' will now be a text file listing the mailboxes.  You can
directly edit this file.  When you are done making changes to it you can
re-import it with:

ctl_mboxlist -u < filename

You will want to move the mailboxes.db out of the way before importing
the text file:

mv mailboxes.db mailboxes.db.bak

the import command mentioned earlier adds to the mailboxes.db, it does
not overwrite mailboxes.db.

Hope that helps,

Brad
