mbpath - Cyrus IMAP documentation
Translate mailbox names to filesystem paths
mbpath [ -C config-file ] [ -q ] [ -s ] [ -m ] [ mailbox-names... ]
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.
-C config-file
Use the specified configuration file config-file rather than the default imapd.conf(5).
-q |
Suppress any error output. | ||
-s |
If any error occurs, stop processing the list of mailboxes and exit. | ||
-m |
Output the path to the metadata files (if different from the message files). |
mbpath user.jsmith
Display the path for mailbox user.jsmith.
mbpath -m user.jsmith
Display the metadata path for mailbox user.jsmith.
/etc/imapd.conf, <configdirectory>/mailboxes.db
imapd.conf(5)
