X-Status processing for reconstruct

[Diego Rivera]

Hello all

I've recently done a successful migration from UW-IMAP to Cyrus.  The
only drawback is that the status of the messages (in X-Status header)
was lost.

This is not a significant problem - more of an annoiance :)

Would it be feasible/acceptable to add a '--status' (-S?) flag to
reconstruct for such occasions?  That way, reconstruct could check the
X-Status header and set the appropriate bits in the index/cache
databases when "recovering" a migrated mailbox.

Opinions?  Is there a better/cleaner way of doing this?  I'm talking
about bulk migrations, not user-to-user via IMAP (I know it could be
done this way, but this has a lot of limitations when it comes to
migrating large numbers of mailboxes and users).

I'd be willing to contribute with this functionality.  Perhaps
Cyrus-IMAP 2.2 already incorporates a migration mechanism?
