Yes - they are cyrus:mail (700/600 folders/files)

seems pretty normal to me...
# rpm -V cyrus-imapd
S.5....T c /etc/cyrus.conf
S.5....T c /etc/imapd.conf

OK - given the above, do I change

CONFIG_DB_SUBS=flat
to
CONFIG_DB_SUBS=berkeley

in /var/lib/imap/rpm/db.cfg.cache ?

restart cyrus-imapd service and it rebuilds it to bdb?
change back to 'flat' in same file and restart cyrus-imapd service to
put it back to flat?

And that is the subscription stuff, do I do similar for 'MBOX'?
Shouldn't the command
# su - cyrus -c '/usr/lib/cyrus-imap/reconstruct -rf user.craig'
automatically descend into the folders? If that rebuilt all of the
'first level folders in the INBOX, why didn't it descend deeper?
