I have the same problem with several items.
Best regards

Here is a script that will fix the broken entryids of messages in a folder.
https://gist.github.com/bosim/1705c8b23d9398bed9b7177708db82ac
It requires python-mysql-connector, read instructions in comments in the beginning of the script.
Backup your database before running this script!
Now you have been warned.

Dear readers
Thank you all for your valuable assistance on the subject concerning entryid corruption. I still have problems with public folders and can not fix them.
I get the following error messages in WebApp:
- Could not open message.
- Could not find message, either it has been moved or deleted or you don’t have access to open this message.
My problems are not only related to mails, but also to contacts. As far as I know contacts were never mentioned before in the forum.
I have successfully used the script fix-entryids.py to fix problems with mails and contacts of real users. On my machine I had to install the missing package python-mysql.connector.
Now to my problem. I am having trouble to fix contacts in the public folders. I can not find out hierarchyid (step 4 mentioned in fix-entryids.py).
The python session look like this:
folder=kopano.Server().user(“SYSTEM”).folder(“Public Folders/Kontakte Test”)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “<stdin>”, line 1, in <module>
File “/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/kopano/store.py”, line 378, in folder
return self.subtree.folder(path, recurse=recurse, create=create)
AttributeError: ‘NoneType’ object has no attribute ‘folder’I have run zarafa for several years and i have recently switched to kopano. This is my first posting in this forum. So please foregive me possible mistakes. And thank you all for your work and your assistance.
Regards

Thank you, this is working. Now I get hierarchyid.
I tried the script with the storeguid of SYSTEM and hierachyid. In WebApp the known error messages was still appearing (although the script did update the exact number of contacts in the folder).
And then I remembered the user who did create all (!) the contacts in this public folder. I tried it again with the storeguid of this user and now it works. Hooray, the contacts are not lost.
I do not know the details of the database scheme and the consequences of the SQL statements in the script. And I do not know what happens if different users had created entries in the same corrupted public folder (solution more complex?). Therefore I hope that this was a good way to fix my problem.
Thank you again for the quick response.
Regards

Interesting it works, because you should use the store guid for the public store, so kopano.Server().public_store.guid
It should be safe to run the script again with that guid and the hierarchyid of the folder in the public store.
Glad I could help.
Have a nice weekend and best regards,

It seems that I made a mistake. I used the following statement in step 3 to produce a wrong parameter:
- kopano.Server().user(“SYSTEM”).store.guid
I have now used the following and hopefully correct statements thanks to bosim:
- kopano.Server().public_store.guid (step 3)
- kopano.Server().public_store.folder(“Kontakte Test”).hierarchyid (in step 4)
This solution may be obvious for developers and insiders but it was not for me.
It is perhaps a good idea if someone could add this to the comments in the script fix-entryids.py.
And now finally: have a nice weekend, too.
Regards

We do not expect more of these incidents to come, it was a very unfortunate situation having the database in a state where it could not be easily repaired by kopano-backup or kopano-fsck.
Have a nice weekend

Thanks @bosim for your solution!!!

Many thanks @bosim for your solution!
All items are visible again :-)Best regards and merry xmas

Hi together!
After searching for hours i found this posting. Many thanks for writing this script! I had so much trouble with my wife because of missing mails, now most of them are back again.
I have one question: I have to run the script on the “Sent Items” folder, but I do not know how to access it to get the hierarchy ID. I thought about searching in the hierarchy-table for the parent of the id of the inbox, looked down into the hierarchies with matching parent, but I endet in not knowing where to find in the database the matching name, so im stuck here.
All I tried around this gave errors (without blanks, other quotes and so on).
folder=kopano.Server().user(“xxx”).inbox.folder(“Sent Items”)
folder=kopano.Server().user(“xxx”).inbox.folder(“Gesendete Objekte”)
The error is always like: kopano.errors.NotFoundError: no such folder: <what I tried>When I try
folder=kopano.Server().user(“xxx”).outbox
and get the id
the script does nothing :-(.I would really appreciate if somebody could give me a hint,
kind regards,
Christian -

@Richard:
Perfect, as usual the solution was easy but in Germany we say: “I had tomatoes on my eyes”, so I did not find it.Many thanks to you, now almost all messages are back again. I still see some errors when I do a kopano-backup but I will try to ignore them. Hopefully they won’t do a message-loop with active-sync.
Again: It was very helpful, I wish you all a great 2018!
kind regards,
Christian -
After updating my kopano core, i had the same problem with corrupted mails. I reorganized all my folders with the script, but syncing with outlook 2016 stops at 98%, and i don’t have any ideas, which folder i forgot. Is there a possibility to get all hierachyid’s for a specified user ?
Or is there a possibility to find out, on which folder the sync stops? Is this logged ?
I can’t work with outlook, no changes are sent to the server, outlook still waits for the sync to be completed

Does the z-push-errors.log say anything about this?
Maybe you hit: https://forum.kopano.io/topic/907/incident-call-to-undefined-function-mapi_zarafa_getuser/

@bosim No, looked in z-push-error.log and the z-push.log, can’t see errors. Error logging is on, switched it to log all info, to see what’s happening. Only got “loop detected”
Now I updated to the new 8.5.80 build in the morning, hope it’s better with this version…
edit:
I think I had forgotten a folder in rewriting the ID’s… Don’t know which one. Found my inbox id (72), and the Deleted Items (id 75) , so I tried to sync the id’ 73 74 75 76 77 and following. The script found entrys, and now it’s working! Very strange
-
The bug is somehow back again. Just installed the nightlys from version 8.6.80. It affects a specific inbox subfolder and the sent mail folder. Every mail sent after the upgrade is accessable but everything before is not.
The problem seems to be limited to webapp and deskapp. I still have access via z-push (maybe it’s cached … haven’t checked yet)
I tried the script mentioned above which worked fine for the subfolder but did nothing to sent mail…
Is there something else I miss?OS: Ubuntu server 16.04.
webapp: 3.4.7.1262+728.1
z-push: most recent version from repos
kopano core: 8.6.80 nightlys
