      <font face="Courier New">Dear Aki,<br>
        I switched to "gz" now, since "zstd" also gave some errors on
        writing to files.<br>
        I dont know if "xz" compression or "zstd" shreddered my MDBOX
        Files, but I lost 4 days of mail. (a couple of thousand mails).<br>
        After restoring the backup (what was made after switching to
        version 2.3.11.3) I still have some broken mdfiles, but not too
        many.<br>
        Interestingly always in the "Sent" Mailbox on a number of Users.<br>
        <br>
        I just can not go back to 20.08.2020 before I updated to </font><font face="Courier New"><font face="Courier New">2.3.11.3</font> -
        too many emails would have been lost.<br>
        <br>
        So - the current status is </font><font face="Courier New"><font face="Courier New"><font face="Courier New">2.3.11.3</font></font>,
        with "gz" compression.<br>
        <br>
      </font><font face="Courier New">I force-synced and re-indexed all
        the mdbox files (250 GB), but still have some broken - please
        how can I fix those ?<br>

would be to re-compress everything via dsync so old mails can be read 
when we eventually remove xz support.)

      <br class="gmail-Apple-interchange-newline">
      what is the optimal way to do that, expecially not loosing the
