mbpath - Cyrus IMAP documentation
Translate mailbox names to filesystem paths
mbpath [ -C config-file ] [ -l ] [ -m ] [ -q ] [ -s ] [ -u | -p ] [ -a | -A | -M | -S | -U ] [ mailbox-names... ]
Given a mailbox name or a space separated list of mailbox names, mbpath outputs the filesystem path(s) of the mailbox. By default, the mailboxesâ 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.
-C config-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. | ||
|
-p |
The specified mailbox-names are UNIX mailbox paths, not mailboxes. |
|
-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 |
