[Doug Koobs]

Ken,

Thanks for the info.

OK, how about this. I'll try it first without running reconstruct. If there
are problems, then I'll shut down cyrus-imapd and run reconstruct on just
the mailboxes that have problems. Sound good?

That does sound easier, but how do you know which message is the one the
user wanted? By the timestamp?

Thanks again!

Doug
