Please update your forum profile with the output of the following command (do not post it in this thread):

zmcontrol -v

What have you done to try and fix this problem (please post the exact steps)? When did this start happening?

i tried :

mysql sql zimbra and check and repair table but don't work.

and i tried to delete imap_folder.idb and imap_folder.frm and copied with an another mailbox but don't work also.

You really shouldn't start modifying the MySQL tables unless you know what effect your changes will have.

Is this backup failing on a particular account? Do you know which account is having the problem? I'd suggest you export the data from the account (if you can't perform a backup) then import the data into a new account. When you've done that and made sure the account is OK you can remove the tables for that account. Have a look at this wiki article to find out which tables you need to remove. Do this after you've shutdown Zimbra and made a backup of your /opt/zimbra directory and with no mail flowing into the system.

If you get that mailbox back to a working state I'd suggest you install Zimbra on a supported platform so you can take advantage of contacting support to help you fix problems.

it's not a account, it's group of account include in a mailbox.

In the mailbox database, the table with a problem it's imap_folder. it's corrupt, but i can't repair it.
