<p dir="auto">I moved one of my IMAP mailboxes serverside:</p>
<pre style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:5px 5px 5px 5px; margin-left:15px; margin-right:15px; max-width:90vw; overflow-x:auto; padding:5px" bgcolor="#F7F7F7"><code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">% doveadm mailbox move -u philip INBOX.mumble mumble
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">mumble was previously only a container for child mailboxes (there was no Maildir named <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">mumble</code> but there were plenty of <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">mumble.foo</code> Maildirs).</p>
<p dir="auto">Everything looks fine on the server. The messages have moved and other IMAP clients see the moved messages.</p>
<p dir="auto">MailMate has noticed that INBOX.mumble is gone. The mailbox and its messages are also gone from <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">~/Library/Application Support/MailMate/Messages.noindex</code>. But there seems to be no way to convince MailMate to go and download the messages under mumble.</p>
<p dir="auto">Is there a way to synchronise this one mailbox without trashing the whole database and rebuilding? With about two million messages in total (and only a few thousand in the moved mailbox) I'm not terribly keen on rebuilding the whole database. :)</p>
<p dir="auto">Thanks.<br>
