Why does reconstruct ignore a folder with messages > in it but no cyrus.* files? If you want to have a folder recognized by reconstruct, create a new, empty cyrus.header file. Reconstruct will populate it with the correct information for that mailbox. Don't forget to set the ownership and perms as well. Here is what I do when restoring messages for users into a "RESTORE" folder: touch RESTORE/cyrus.header chown cyrus:mail RESTORE/cyrus.header chmod 600 RESTORE/cyrus.header reconstruct -x -f user.username 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
