It sounds like you already fixed this, but the solution is very similar to my steps for recovering a mailbox from backups. All you need to do is create an empty cyrus.header file, then run reconstruct and quota, like so: touch cyrus.header chown cyrus:mail cyrus.header chmod 600 cyrus.header su cyrus -c '/usr/local/cyrus/bin/reconstruct -x -f user.username' su cyrus -c '/usr/local/cyrus/bin/quota -f user.username' Andy ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
