Dear Experts,
I did reconstruct mailboxes of all users, using the script in
README.HOWTO-recover-mailboxes.db. Following is the extract of the
script (for reconstruct)
--
find /var/spool/imap/user -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 | \
while read i; do
i=$(basename $i)
/usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/reconstruct -rf user.${i}
/usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/quota -f user.${i}
done
--
One of the users mailbox has one more level of sub folder like
user.xxx.ABC
user.xxx.ABC.def
Right now, folders of level user.xxx are seen, but folders at
user.xxx.ABC including ABC are not seen.
Should I run,
/usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/reconstruct -rf user.xxx.ABC now? That is when
Cyrus-imapd is already running? Or I should stop the service and run
reconstruct? Please advise.
You can run reconstruct and quota while cyrus-imapd is running.
If reconstruct does not succeed, verify the mailbox(es) are listed within
the output of 'ctl_mboxlist -d'. If not, you should add them via cyradm.
reconstruct may also fail for a given mailbox if you are missing the
cyrus.* files within its directory.
You might wish to backup the contents of the directories in question before
proceeding, in case you end up with missing flags or other data.

What I found is
1. /var/spool/imap/user/xxx exists
2. /var/spool/imap/user has several directories
3. All other directories except ABC are listed as folders under
user.xxx and are seen by IMAP clients.
4. ABC directory has subfolders like /var/spool/imap/user/xxx/ABC/1, 2
3 etc and each of these subdirectories has cyrus.* files except ABC
directory. As you said, as ABC directory does not have cyrus.* files,
reconstruct has failed to recognise it and hence its subdirectories.
Should I run reconstruct -r -f user.xxx.ABC or cm user.xxx.ABC and
then run reconstruct -r -f user.xxx.ABC?
Create a cyrus.header file in the ABC directory, set the ownership and
permissions. Something like this:
touch cyrus.header
chown cyrus:mail cyrus.header
chmod 600 cyrus.header
Then run:
reconstruct -x -f user.xxx.ABC
I should have asked at the beginning - are there any message files in (1.,
2., 3., etc) in the ABC directory?
