Hi, Easiest fix is to re-create the directory of the account that was deleted, with the cyrus.* files in it. Easiest thing if you can find an empty account on your server. cp -pr it to your account name, ensure the permissions are the same (owner cyrus) then you can reconstruct -r -f user.usernamethatwasdeleted then you should be good to go. Basic problem was/is that the folder does not exist anymore and you need to re-create it so the system see's it again and it works.
