Thanks so much for your response, but due to the enormity of the problem, and the need for a quick and effective solution, i just renamed the zimbra folder, and reinstalled zimbra. I had already gone through the Account database structure document, and i was able to understand the relationship between the users' mailbox id and the mailbox store.
So i simply copied configuration data from the old zimbra store, and used a post i saw on zmlmtpinject to send the user's old email into the user's new zimbra email folder.
A bit drastic, sure. i had to automate by a small bash script that took the user's mailbox id and repopulated the mailbox. but it served the purpose at hand.
Im saved your response on my laptop in case i have this problem again.
Thank you kindly! |
