Re: Mail not visible after restore from backup.

Title: myEMAILsignature

Are you sure you've running a version of reconstruct which matches your installation?  I ask because the man page for reconstruct from 2.3.16 shows both -r and -f as permissible:

−r      

Recursively reconstruct all sub-mailboxes of the mailboxes or mailbox prefixes given as arguments.
   

−f    

Examine the filesystem underneath mailbox, adding all directories with a cyrus.header found there as new mailboxes. Useful for restoring mailboxes from backups.

from http://www.cyrusimap.org/docs/cyrus-imapd/2.3.16/man/reconstruct.8.php

Depending upon how you installed Cyrus, from package or source, and which OS/distro you're using, there may be versions of binary utilities laying around from older versions of the software.  We've certainly seen that before.

Cheers,

That’s estrange the -r is recursive…. that should work….

Which Cyrus version are you running?

Hello,

Thanks for the response. 
When I run "reconstruct -rf mailbox" the response is "usage: reconstruct [-r] mailbox". I assume that means it doesn't like the syntax.

Hello,

I have a user that deleted all mail from his Sent folder. I restored it from a rsync backup, ran "reconstruct user.name.Sent". the reconstruct finished instantly, and no emails from the restore can be seen in the user's mail agent, (thunderbird). I konow I've run into this before but can't remember the solution. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
