I thing '*' and '%' are used as wildcard in the list of know
mailboxes, I means the mailbox.db

Then

reconstruct user/first.lastname/*@domain.com  #withount -r

display all known sub folder of mailbox first.last at domain.com except
Inbox itself !!!!

Then to repair an inbox and all its folders 2 commands are required !

reconstruct user/first.lastname at domain.com
reconstruct user/first.lastname/*@domain.com

I suppose

reconstruct -r user/first.lastname at domain.com  #withount * but with -r

SOULD do the same. But is not working for me. The -f doest help more if
the mailbox is already knwon !

If I copy my Sent folder into a new Foo folder then run (create a new
mailbox without
telling to cyrus), then use

reconstruct -f user/first.lastname at domain.com  # without a -r but
(work same with -r )

It display

discovered domain.com!first.last.Foo


Conclusion
========

- -r looks to be useless
- -f discover yet unknow folder, recursively too, but only inside new
folder, not if already known, use * to for a full discovery in two
time user/first.lastname at domain.com and
user/first.lastname/*@domain.com
- '*' and '%' allow to walk around the mailbox tree, but only inside
already know folder

This was tested on a 2.3.11

Hope this help
