[Dbmail] changing mailboxes in DB?

[Thomas Raschbacher]

hi.

I need to move/ merge a lot of mailboxes and was wondering if i
could/should do it directly in the DB (updating the mailbox_idnr field
is easy, but there's also seq,.. and i assume that should be updated
too?

has anyone done this before?

-- otherwise i guess i'll have to do it through imap which is slower,
but doable since it is only one user and a total of 3721 folders (which
i am trying to get down to a reasonable amount since all webmail clients
go either really slow, or time out)

Regards

seq is just a counter. You just need to increment it every time you
"touch" the mailbox.

You can do whatever you need to do at db level and then just update seq
= seq + 1 on all the target mailboxes.
