well unfortunatly you have to make sure the permissions on the user directory is still cyrus:mail
If you dont do it with EVERYTHING as that, reconstruct will 'IGNORE' the message and continue on. do a chown -R cyrus:mail /var/spool/imap/user/* then reconstruct. Should find all the folders and messages (personal experience talking here) --On Monday, May 13, 2002 11:43 AM +0200 Jean-Marc Delpech <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I make a tar of /var/spool/imap/user every week from my imap server to a > snap server (this sort of backup never delete old files on the snap server > but only add).
