I had a problem where a user could not read email, indeed every time he
tried imapd would crash. I tried a database repair as well as a user
mailbox reconstruct out of Server Admin, but that did not work. A
'reconstruct -r' via the command line didn't help either. In the end, I
wiped out /var/spool/imap/user/<username>, ran "su - cyrusimap
...reconstruct -f -r user/<username>" and all was well. Of course, all
his old mail is gone.
Now, I *do* have his old mail saved. And, according to the documentation
I should copy that email to his mailbox and run 'reconstruct -r' again. I
did that (copied the old mail (e.g. 22.) to .../imap/user/<username>, and
made sure it was oned by cyrusimap, run reconstruct), but his mail didn't
show up.
The user has about 700 mail messages (OK, most of them are SPAM. :-) ), I
*could* say "here, go look at them in your favorite editor", but even if
he was willing, attachments are difficult to see that way...
So, any suggestions?
