Re: Odd mailbox names appearing on iOS Mail.app client post-upgrade

Philip,

Did you follow the upgrade steps, including the part about rebuilding  
the database files?
When I upgraded to 3.8.1 (from 3.4.5), I did the following:

# time reconstruct -C /etc/imapd.conf -x -f -M -G
# time ctl_conversationsdb -v -R -r

The above were necessary for me due to some issues (some fields no  
longer optional) having remained over time. 3.6.x and later will have  
problems with those.

Do note, depending on amount of mail, those commands can run for quite  
some time. Best to prevent new mail deliveries while it is running to  
get it done quicker.
