DBERROR: critical database situation

[Bron Gondwana]

2.4 was releasted in 2010, it's 2017.  We advise not to run Berkeley DB
  (even on 2.3.19), because it doesn't upgrade very nicely.


I would advise that you get some version 10 binaries and use cvt_cyrusdb
to convert all your berkeley databases to skiplist. Skiplist in 2.3.19
is rock solid.  You'll need to update the config as well, but the
default for every database type in 2.3.19 is skiplist, so it's just a
matter of removing some lines from imapd.conf.


Regards,



Bron.
