Thanks for all tips, but my reconstruct (2.4.12) tells me: europa.cgv.tugraz.at> reconstruct -rf user.sef usage: reconstruct [-r] mailbox europa.cgv.tugraz.at> reconstruct -r -f user.sef usage: reconstruct [-r] mailbox A simple reconstruct -r user.sef does run flawless, but does not bring back the folder.
