Hi,

i'm running cyrus-imapd 2.2.12 on a fedora (on a open-xchange) and I had a 
server failure for a disk full a few days ago.
I have 6 mailboxes running on this server, and 2 of them (the bigger and more 
frequently used) went lightly corrupted after that. The other 4 are running 
well. The all open-xchange was running well from almost two years now.

All the mailboxes are receiving and sending mail, but the problem on 2 of them 
is that it's no more possible to flag a message as seen. Every time the mail 
interface refresh (with every imap client I know) all the messages are flagged 
as unseen.
The logs of one of the mailboxes under lib/imap/log says

* OK (seen state failure) Unable to preserve \Seen state: System I/O error

I've tryed several times to stop imap and do a reconstruct, but no way.
reconstruct -m (found in a FAQ) doesn't work as the answer is

reconstructing mailboxes.db currently not supported

I couldn't find this error on the cyrus site.

Any ideas?

Figure out whose seen file is corrupted and delete it. Cyrus will automatically recreate it. It is also possible to fix a corrupted seen file (more or less) using a python script called skiplist.py. You can find it with a google search or a search of the list archives.
