DBERROR - how do I recover?

[Blake Hudson]

You should be able to delete the deliver, annotations, and tls_sessions 
db files along with the files in /var/lib/imap/db and restart without 
any loss of data.

If this does not fix the problem you likely have issue with the 
mailboxes db file. In that case, you will likely have to replace it with 
a file from /var/lib/imap/db.backup1 You will lose any new 
folders/mailboxes created since the backup was created. You can use 
reconstruct -rf to find these though....
