Hi, I removed the cyrus.* files from two directories and ran reconstruct on them with no apparent results. The cyrus.* files were not rebuilt and the data is still inaccessible. It may be related to the fact that I had previously inadvertently deleted the /var/imap/db and mailboxes files and had to reinitialize the whole data structure from scratch. I had saved the message directories separately and had hoped I could reintroduce the old messages and run reconstruct to gain access to the previous data. It doesn't work!
Thanks I am still hoping for a miracle, but am afraid the old data is never to be accessible again.
