Hi,

I have this case were I have deleted a Kolab User account, the emails
are still on the server in the Cyrus format.
Is there a way to dump this data into a format that could be imported
somewhere else, using a format like mbox?

Thanks

Last time I screwed up my email server (catastrophically screwed up) I
pulled the files from:

/var/spool/imap/
[1]domain/_*PREFEX*_/_*DOMAIN*_/_*PREFEX*_/user/_*USERNAME*_

I then appended .eml to the files and dragged them onto Thunderbird.
Alternatively you could use a script like eml2mbox [2]to automate this
process into mbox format

Thanks, I solved my problem differently. I realized that if I re-create
the account I could access the emails again and download them locally
using Thunderbird.
