KC: EntryID-corruption on server-restart with MAPI error 80040107 (MAPI_E_INVALID_ENTRYID) in new or modified mail-items

That’s to be expected: Kopano-backup can’t access already damaged entries, either. K’-backup will rescue your mails as long as the server hasn’t been restarted.

thanks umgfoin,

So I have to live with the broken mails!? I hope kopano find a solution!
Is the error fixed in your version?

We are working to find a solution. The corresponding JIRA ticket is here:

https://jira.kopano.io/browse/KC-909

Hello @bosim,
if it helps, I can provide a properties-dump from a corruption from before and after server-restart (SELECT * FROM properties WHERE hierarchyid=xyz).
What is obvious there, some entryids (e.g. PR_SENDER_ENTRYID) have grown enormously in size after the IPM.note-object got corrupted.

bg umgfoin.

Jan has found the problem and working on a fix. Maybe it will be useful to figure out how to repair stuff.

Good morning,
…and good news: @jengelh 's commit a3030e1dd8e will stop ongoing corruption, as reported above.

Hallo @all
also does not work in version core-8.4.90.1063_0+138-Ubuntu_14.04-amd64 :(
I have moved new mail to deleted objects and back, reboot server, same issue.
How can I delete the annoying mails from the DB?

bosim

@Sinux I just had success locally by repairing one item. It is possible but it is time consuming. How many elements do you think it is for you?

Sinux

thanks @bosim it affects 14 mails so far but the error still exists…
plz, I would like to hear your solution anyway
thanks

@sinux
as JIRA ticket KC-909 status shows, all this is currently under review.

… and I tend to believe, patience is good advice, here.

Jan’s commit a3030e1dd8e hasn’t been pushed to the master-branch, yet - thus it hardly can be contained in any community-build, either.

Concerning deletion of sgl. mailitems, the following approach should work:

take down kopano-server or atleast prevent multi-user access.
start a mysql-cmd-client mysql -hlocalhost -udb_user db_name
identify hierarchyids of (broken) items by a query in the properties-table: e.g.
SELECT hierarchyid FROM properties WHERE val_string LIKE "Subject_of_broken_mail%" AND hierarchyid IN (SELECT id FROM hierarchy WHERE type=5);
delete related properties, tproperties and hierarchyentries:
DELETE from hierarchy WHERE id=<result from above>;
DELETE from tproperties WHERE hierarchyid=<result from above;>
DELETE from indexedproperties WHERE hierarchyid=<result from above;>

But:

reliably backup your db prior any modifications
Be careful with the first query - your search criteria need to be unambiguously
eventually use START TRANSACTION/ ROLLBACK/ COMMIT to recover from typos or mistakes

@umgfoin thanks, I’ll try it
update
thanks it works but I would still like to try his suggestion @bosim

Sinux

Hi,

with this version core-8.4.90.1064_0+139-Ubuntu_14.04-amd64 it seems to work again.
Now I hope on bosim data recovery.

thanks

It appears that a MAPI_MESSAGE’s entryid is only ever referenced from another message’s 0x80FD, 0x80FE and 0x825D properties. As these seem to be some obscure properties, regenerating entryids of messages (not so with folders/stores) at will should generally work.

So how to trigger that?
