recovering from mailbox.db corruption cyrus 2_2

[Robert Scussel]

I hope that you have a flat text version as a backup.

If you don't you can try to dump the mailbox file, mv the old mailbox.db 
file out of the way, and then reimport the mailbox file.  Then run a 
reconstruct to make sure that everything is correct.

Hope this helps,
B
