I don't see a -i as a valid argument in the reconstruct src. Maybe
its from an older version.
What upgrade did you perform? To 10.4 I assume.
I think you need to run reconstruct with -rfx
user.username.foldername (wherever the missing mail is located) to
rebuild the index.
You might want to back up all the cyrus.* files before doing this,
since you've had unpredictable results.
Some mail clients (I think Apple Mail and outlook) can get confused
about the date for the missing messages after a reconstruct.
Can your user's IMAP client access the inbox? or is that still a
problem?

I have been having some serious cyrus problems all week. I do not
understand why they are occurring, and I hope that someone here can
help me out.
We are runnng Mac OS Server 10.3.9
After an upgrade, I have one user (out of 10) whose inbox was
truncated from 3000 messages to 6.
I checked, and the messages are still in /var/spool/imap/user/USER.
I stopped the mail server and ran (as cyrus)
/usr/bin/cyrus/bin/reconstruct -f -r user/USER
What did this do? It makes the user's inbox dissapear. It shows up
in cyradmin, shows up in a client subscribe list, but the IMAP
client cannot access it, and I get this error when mail is
delivered to it:
Aug 18 14:28:42 localhost postfix/pipe[1876]: 76E1E3656F6: to=,
orig_to=, relay=procmail, delay=23, status=deferred (temporary
failure)
Note: This is the THIRD time this particular thing has happened to
this user's inbox. I also managed to nuke on of his subfolders in
the same manner.
I also tried to run
/usr/bin/cyrus/bin/reconstruct -x user/USER
but this did not help.
To fix this, I have had to rebuild the ENTIRE cyrus db. And when I
do, the reconstruct tool seems to miss some of the mail in this
user's folders. (reconstruct -i).
Does anyone have any ideas? Any at all? Apple TS is zero help.
Some other questions:
what is the reconstruct -i switch for? It seems to help rebuild
the DB, but I cannto find any documentaion on it (I got it from
another user who suggested to use that to rebuild).
I am really just trying to understand why all this is happening.
Thanks in advance.
