    You can delete the mailboxes.db and restart cyrus, then you can run
    ctl_mboxlist -m on the backends
    You could also recover the mailboxes.db getting it from the hot backup
    in the db.backup1/2 directories and then run ctl_mboxlist -m on the
    backends. That would work only if your hot backup isnt already corrupted

    Im not sure. I've done it in the past and didnt notice any problems.
