Randy,
Thanks for the info.
We do have our nightly backups and redo logs, so we are not too worried about things we find the next day. What we are most worried about is getting two months down the road and finding out there was some glitch with some important piece of mail that is no longer recoverable (and I'm sure it would be with the president's account :-) ).

I did a similar thing one time in order to convert a server from HSM
back to single-level store. All the mail did survive.
I don't know whether it's necessary, but I read somewhere a
recommendation to stop any servers that might talk to that database
(e.g. mailbox) while you do it, so I did. In fact I shut down Zimbra
completely and then started just mysql. (IIRC)
Fresh backups are really nice for lowering the stress level... :)
