**mbpath**
**********

Translate mailbox names to filesystem paths


Synopsis
========

   **mbpath** [ **-C** *config-file* ] [ **-q** ] [ **-s** ] [ **-m** ] [ *mailbox-names*... ]


Description
===========

Given a mailbox name or a space separated list of mailbox names,
**mbpath** outputs the filesystem path to the mailbox.

**mbpath** reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5)
file unless specified otherwise by **-C**. It uses
<configdirectory>/mailboxes.db to locate the mailbox on disk.


Options
=======

-C config-file

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

-q

   Suppress any error output.

-s

   If any error occurs, stop processing the list of mailboxes and
   exit.

-m

   Output the path to the metadata files (if different from the
   message files).


Examples
========

   **mbpath** *user.jsmith*

   Display the path for mailbox *user.jsmith*.

   **mbpath -m** *user.jsmith*

   Display the metadata path for mailbox *user.jsmith*.


Files
=====

/etc/imapd.conf, <configdirectory>/mailboxes.db
