Yes you were right, it was the solution : user.seen files uses unique IDs stored in the cyrus.header file Therefore, restoring only user.seen file will not work if a reconstruct was done in-between, because the ids will not correspond anymore. The solution is therefore to : 1. Stop cyrus 2. Restore a user.seen from backups (it's ok if not very recent, emails read since then will simply become "unread") 2. ALSO RESTORE cyrus.* files in the folder that were backup at the same time of user.seen ! (To be sure unique ids will correspond.) 3. reconstruct mailbox : it will use data from backups and add the emails arrived inbetween as unread. 4. Restart cyrus Denis ---- 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
