I already suspected something like that. but I miss some more detailed info. 

Following plan A:

How can I update DB data? What are the tools to use? What is the content of 
/var/imap/db anyway? Can it be disposed of and will it be regenerated
automagically?

Following plan B:

How do I export and import the data. Is there a db_dump and db_import?  
At least, this route would allow me to make a judgement about the data.
