reconstruct only reconstructs folders with the cyrus.cache,

present, they won't reconstruct.

Thanks that works fine so i have to create the mailboxes first through a
cyradm call.
Next question I have is has anyone done any work with keeping the seen
state using the formail method? Or is this just out of the question? Has
everyone who has needed to migrate mail and saved the seen state of the
mail just done it through imap transfer from the old imap server into
cyrus?
The whole process would be a lot easier if you use mailutil from the UW
distro. It will do everything the "correct" way, which is via IMAP, not via
the filesystem and will also maintain flags.
We did it this way for about 20K users across 2 boxes.
