Command-line reconstruct different from cyradm reconstruct?

[Daniel Eckl]

Possibly the IMAP command uses a quota reconstruct, too, while the
command line reconstruct does not do that automatically.

I'd try on command line if "reconstruct -rf user.jpublic; quota -f
user.jpublic" does what you want.

If quota -f does the trick and a lot of mailboxes have the problem, I'd
do a
"quota -f user."

Best,
Daniel
