Do you see the following files in /var/spool/imap/f/user/foouser
cyrus.cache
cyrus.header
cyrus.index
Yes, The cyrus files are there on each folder-
and in /var/lib/imap/user/f/
foouser.seen
foouser.sub
Also there.
And did you use the -f option with reconstruct?
Yes, I did
Just used ctl_mboxlist -d to see if the user's mailboxes were actually in mailboxes.db and yes they are.
Dont have a clue about what to do now.
