SYNOPSIS

          cvt_xlist_specialuse [OPTIONS] mailbox...

DESCRIPTION

       cvt_xlist_specialuse  is a tool for converting xlist-flag settings from imapd.conf(5) to user special-use
       annotations.

OPTIONS

       -C config-file
              Use the specified configuration file config-file rather than the default imapd.conf(5).

       -v, --verbose
              Produce verbose output

EXAMPLES

          cvt_xlist_specialuse user.*
          Set special-use annotations for all users (unixhierarchysep: off)

          cvt_xlist_specialuse user/*
          Set special-use annotations for all users (unixhierarchysep: on)

HISTORY

       The xlist-flag settings existed for a while in Cyrus IMAP 2.4, for setting special-use  style  flags  for
       particular  folder  names  (on  a  server-wide  basis).   This  was  deprecated  at  some  point with the
       introduction of RFC 6154.

       The cvt_xlist_specialuse tool was introduced in Cyrus IMAP 3.0 to aid administrators  in  upgrading  from
       older deployments where xlist-flag settings had been in use.
