If you want to have a folder recognized by reconstruct, create a new,
empty cyrus.header file. Reconstruct will populate it with the correct
information for that mailbox. Don't forget to set the ownership and perms
as well. Here is what I do when restoring messages for users into a
"RESTORE" folder:
touch RESTORE/cyrus.header
chown cyrus:mail RESTORE/cyrus.header
chmod 600 RESTORE/cyrus.header
reconstruct -x -f user.username
quota -f user.username
