# reconstruct -r user
which outputted the users root mailbox path and its default trash inbox and sent paths
Then I did the quota command to fix the quota
# quota -f
Which strangley doesn't seem to reset the quota, it still prints theat user having 1755656kbytes which is the hard limit of 2GB they got to.. hence why I'm doing this.
The IMAP mailbox looks good and empty so I guess reconstruct worked fine, but cyrus IMAP still thinks that user is over quota becuase it can't send mail.
Could you possibly see what I did wrong or how I can reset the quota?
Any ideas?
PS. I actually did another test while not leaving the cyrus* files in there, in case they stored any storage information, but the same problem occurs with the quota not being reset and staying at 2GB.
Thanks for your help!

If you change something on the spool, without using the cyrus tools,
you need to run reconstruct to update the cyrus.* files in that
folder. After this you can update the quota with quota -f
