Thanks, it did help. Point was, that the mailbox has some sub-mailboxes.
I had to copy, create and reconstruct all submailboxes one for one, they
where all on another place. E.g. the submailbox elan.bvi was on the
filesystem here: cyrus/mail/b/elan/bvi/ , so not as in normal mailboxes,
where it would be cyrus/mail/e/user/elan/bvi/ .

It was no problem to create a mailbox what allready was copied.

What about the "-m" option of reconstruct, to reconstruct the list with
mailboxes? I see in the manual "NOTE: CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE".

With regards,
Paul van der Vlis.
