I've looked into to logs but there is only this:

skiplist: invalid magic header: /kolab/var/imapd/mailboxes.db
imap[19452]: DBERROR: opening /kolab/var/imapd/mailboxes.db: cyrusdb error
imap[19452]: Fatal error: can't read mailboxes file
imap[19454]: executed

for a few thousand lines ...

is there a way to restore the mailboxes.db by hand ? i've done a ctl_mboxlist 
-d > filename.txt, then added the folders that are missing and then a 
ctl_mboxlist -u < filename.txt. is this the correct way ?
