Hi Uxbod, thanks again.

Guess I was wrong about the version:

Release 4.5.11_GA_1751.FC5_20080128130403 FC5 FOSS edition

I'm not knowledgeable enough to install a new Zimbra server myself, so if I can't find a reliable local person to do it, maybe we should consider using one of the hosted Zimbra services recommended on the main page? I'm sure they would be able to help migrate the old emails. But I will try to extract the logs; I'm irritated that I'm not able to figure out what went wrong so I'd like to pursue it as long as you guys have the patience to point me in the right direction.

I changed permissions for the mailbox.log but it seems there is nothing in it:

bash: /opt/zimbra/log/mailbox.log: Permission denied
[zimbra@mail2 root]$ chmod ug+rwx /opt/zimbra/log/mailbox.log
[zimbra@mail2 root]$ /opt/zimbra/log/mailbox.log -p
[zimbra@mail2 root]$ /opt/zimbra/log/mailbox.log
[zimbra@mail2 root]$ ls -l /opt/zimbra/log/mailbox.log
-rwxrwx--- 1 zimbra zimbra 0 Jun 26 02:08 /opt/zimbra/log/mailbox.log

This is the output of the tomcat/catalina.out file:

[zimbra@mail2 root]$ chmod ug+x /opt/zimbra/tomcat/logs/catalina.out
[zimbra@mail2 root]$ /opt/zimbra/tomcat/logs/catalina.out

Also go this snippet from on eo f the logs:
