mbpath¶
Translate mailbox names to filesystem paths
Synopsis¶
mbpath [ -C config-file ] [ -l ] [ -m ] [ -q ] [ -s ] [ -u ] [ -a | -A | -M | -S | -U ] [ mailbox-names... ]
Description¶
Given a mailbox name or a space separated list of mailbox names, mbpath outputs the filesystem path(s) of the mailbox. By default, the mailboxes’ data partition paths are shown (same as -D). See Selectors for selecting which filesystem path(s) to output.
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 mailboxes on disk.
Options¶
-
-Cconfig-file¶ Use the specified configuration file config-file rather than the default imapd.conf(5).
-
-l¶ Local mailboxes only (exits with error for remote or nonexistent mailboxes)
-
-m¶ Output the path to the metadata files (if different from the message files). Legacy, use -M.
-
-q¶ Suppress any error output.
-
-s¶ If any error occurs, stop processing the list of mailboxes and exit.
-
-u¶ The specified mailbox-names are users, not mailboxes.
Selectors¶
-
-A¶ Show the mailbox archive path
-
-D¶ Show the mailbox data path (default)
-
-M¶ Show the mailbox metadata path (same as -m)
-
-S¶ Show the user sieve scripts path
-
-U¶ Show the user files path (seen, sub, etc)
-
-a¶ Show all paths, as if all selectors were specified
Examples¶
mbpath user.jsmith
Display the data path for mailbox user.jsmith.
/var/spool/cyrus/user/jsmith
mbpath -M user.jsmith
Display the metadata path for mailbox user.jsmith.
/var/spool/meta/imap/user/jsmith
mbpath -u -S jsmith
Display the sieve scripts path for user jsmith.
/var/spool/sieve/j/jsmith
Files¶
/etc/imapd.conf, <configdirectory>/mailboxes.db
