MBPATH(8) Cyrus IMAP MBPATH(8)

NAME

mbpath - Cyrus IMAP documentation

Translate mailbox names to filesystem paths

SYNOPSIS

mbpath [ -C config-file ] [ -q ] [ -s ] [ -m ] [ mailbox-names... ]

DESCRIPTION

Given a mailbox name or a space separated list of mailbox names, mbpath outputs the filesystem path to the mailbox.

mbpath reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file unless specified otherwise by -C. It uses <configdirectory>/mailboxes.db to locate the mailbox on disk.

OPTIONS

Use the specified configuration file config-file rather than the default imapd.conf(5).

Suppress any error output.

If any error occurs, stop processing the list of mailboxes and exit.

Output the path to the metadata files (if different from the message files).

EXAMPLES

mbpath user.jsmith
Display the path for mailbox user.jsmith.


mbpath -m user.jsmith
Display the metadata path for mailbox user.jsmith.


FILES

/etc/imapd.conf, <configdirectory>/mailboxes.db
