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 mailboxes' 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−only
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, −−quiet
Suppress any error output.
−s, −−stop
If any error occurs, stop processing the list of mailboxes and exit.
−u, −−userids
The specified mailbox−names are userids, not mailboxes.
−p, −−paths
The specified mailbox−names are UNIX mailbox paths, not mailboxes.
−A, −−archive
Show the mailbox archive path
−D, −−data
Show the mailbox data path (default)
−M, −−metadata
Show the mailbox metadata path (same as −m)
−S, −−sieve
Show the user sieve scripts path
−U, −−user−files
Show the user files path (seen, sub, etc)
−a, −−all
Show all paths, as if all selectors were specified
mbpath
user.jsmith
Display the data path for mailbox user.jsmith.
mbpath
−M user.jsmith
Display the metadata path for mailbox user.jsmith.
mbpath
−u −S jsmith
Display the sieve scripts path for user jsmith.
