Yes, the mailboxes.db is a skiplist.
In /var/imap I have these files:
-rw------- 1 cyrus mail 144 Sep 30 18:28 annotations.db
-rw------- 1 cyrus mail 1629672 Oct 6 19:50 core
drwxr-x--- 2 cyrus mail 3584 Oct 6 19:50 db (863MB in here)
drwx------ 2 cyrus mail 1536 Oct 6 17:00 db.backup1 (580MB
in here)
drwx------ 2 cyrus mail 512 Oct 6 16:30 db.backup2 (2kb in
here)
-rw------- 1 cyrus mail 1515520 Oct 6 16:28 deliver.db
drwxr-x--- 2 cyrus mail 512 Aug 13 2004 log
-rw------- 1 cyrus mail 5016276 Oct 6 16:06 mailboxes.db
drwxr-x--- 2 cyrus mail 15360 Oct 6 16:48 proc
drwxr-x--- 2 cyrus mail 512 Oct 6 16:59 socket
-rw------- 1 cyrus mail 16384 Oct 6 04:00 tls_sessions.db
drwx------ 25 cyrus mail 512 Aug 16 2004 user
Question: What database exactl is in /var/imap/db? I understand that it
gets backed up to db.backup1/db.backup2, but am not sure what it
contains, and what the consequences of deleting it are... what will my
users be missing if I do? Deleting tls_sessions and deliver.db is ok,
but what is in annotations.db, is that safe to remove to? Is it neccesary?
Regards, Paul Boven.
