Thanks David,
Permissions were already checked, thanks.
Issue solved.
Im ashamed though. Problem was all files were missing the final dot. Info was recovered from the server's dead HD
with a windows application, then copied back to the new Linux server running cyrus. Thus, files dots were ripped off in the process.
Made a little shell script to add the dot to each file and everything's fine now.
Thanks a lot
Diego

If you are copying them as root, the files probably belong to root. Have you checked the files to see if they belong to cyrus?
If cyrus can't access them, it can't make them available through cyrus.

Created a new folder from thunderbird, copied some messages from another

thunderbird)
I can see those messages on the server too of course. Now, I copy files from
another folder into that new folder (not from the client but from the
server), run reconstruct and cant see them either.
Same thing thats keeping me from seeing the backed up folders.
Already check permissions also from cyradm:

My cyrus server discs died and I was just able to recover some of the data.
I have almost everything from /var/spool/imap but none from /var/lib/imap
Thus I copy just one user's mailbox for testing. I created that user againwith cyradm, then copied all >messages to its /var/spool/imap/f/user/foouser
folder. Run reconstruct for that mailbox.
So far so good. Now, when trying to check mails both from outlook andthunderbird I can see the folders >but no single message inside them.
Both partitions have permissions set. chown -R cyrus.mail . chmod -R 750
Apparently, clients are looking where they should. I get these lines onmaillog when I ty to browse a >folder:
open: user xxx opened INBOX.folder>open: user xxx opened INBOX.folder2
No messages are shown though but all files are on those mail folders. Iverun every database or mailbox >reconstruction utility with no success.
I would really REALLY appreciate any help-
Thanks
Diego
