I gather they changed something ages ago and you had to fix the database files. Broke my fetchmail/postfix setup and I couldn't work out how to fix it. Fortunately I wasn't using it as a mail store. That's not been working for a few years now. Could be the new mariadb doesn't recognise the old database files. Cheers, Wol
