imsinit is the utility that initializes the message store file system.
The top-level directories are specified in the /etc/opt/SUNWmail/ims/ims.cnf file. If a default SIMS installation has been performed, these directories are:
![]() |
/var/opt/SUNWmail/ims/index |
![]() |
/var/opt/SUNWmail/ims/hash |
![]() |
/var/opt/SUNWmail/ims/data |
![]() |
/var/opt/SUNWmail/ims/adm |
![]() |
/var/opt/SUNWmail/ims/shared |
![]() |
/var/opt/SUNWmail/ims/user |
The preceding directories must also be owned by the message store owner as specified in the ims.cnf file. If a default SIMS installation has been performed, the owner should be set to inetmail.
If the top-level directories are not present imsinit will create them.
Upon successful completion, the message store filesystem is initialized.

The option for this command is:
-l config_file_location
Location of Message Access Services configuration file (ims.cnf). If the -l option is not specified, the default location (/etc/opt/SUNWmail/ims/) will be used.
