I ran ctl_mboxlist -maw on one of my back end IMAP servers this morning
and saw this output:
Remove from MUPDATE: user.xxxxxx.root.incron
Remove from MUPDATE: user.xxxxxx.Trash.HCWG.Minutes
Remove from MUPDATE: user.xxxxxx.freshers-week.fwem.FW09.Rep emails
They do not show up if I search for them in cyradm but I found them
lurking on the MUPDATE server:
$ ctl_mboxlist -d | grep " 3 "
user.xxxxxx.Trash.HCWG.Minutes 3 imap-backend.bath.ac.uk!00
user.xxxxxx.root.incron 3 imap-backend.bath.ac.uk!04
user.xxxxxx.freshers-week.fwem.FW09.Rep emails 3 imap-backend.bath.ac.uk!04
Running ctl_mboxlist -ma on the back end doesn't clear these up. How did
these mailbox entries get into state and what is the safest
downtime-free way to remove them from the MUPDATE server? ctl_mboxlist
doesn't have an advertised way of doing this.
The front end is 2.4.16 and the back end is 2.3.13.
Many thanks,
Dave.
