You should be able to get out a list of mailboxes and run reconstruct -m on each of them. Another good start is just to run through your userlist and run reconstruct -r on each of the user mailboxes.

Check the archives for some scripts doing this. 

Also: If the -m switch is not going to get fixed (It hasn't dorked since
Cyrus 2.0 AFAIK) maybe one of the scripts could be added to the default
tarball and the manpage changed?
