Alias changes #103

I have added a new domain to my own P-MiaB testbox (although it holds my personal mail, I also use it to try out things) and was perplexed by the lack of emails for that domain. Long story, but it turned out that I had misconfigured the domain alias. Instead of redirecting it to the actual mail account, I redirected it to itself, i.o.w. @giesler.za.net was being sent to @giesler.za.net. The system doesn't complain about that, but now the mail is stuck in a folder which I can't reach from the GUI.

Can I move the files to the mailbox where I can read it, or how can I get to that mail? It currently sits in /home/user-data/mail/mailboxes/giesler.za.net/roland/new.

Here's what I have tried: /home/user-data/mail/mailboxes/giesler.za.net/roland/new# cp '1670832968.M622214P4070388.box2,S=238067,W=241421' ../../../gtahardware.co.za/roland/cur/ /home/user-data/mail/mailboxes/giesler.za.net/roland/new# cp '1670832968.M622214P4070388.box2,S=238067,W=241421' ../../../gtahardware.co.za/roland/new/

Neither of the above makes the message show up in the mailbox.

Any tips on how I could get to the email?

I have used this too:

Although I have added +rw permissions to "new" and "cur" in gtahardware/roland/, it still fails with "permission denied".

ls -la gtahardware.co.za/roland/new

I think it was a misconfiguration from my side. I had a mailbox for roland<at>giesler.za.net as well as a domain alias for <at>giesler.za.net. I honestly can't remember when I created the mailbox, but when I went through all the configs again I finally realised what was happening.

I have now removed the domain alias and mail is flowing properly.
