Recovering cyrus users and folders from backup

[Diego V]

Update from my first post:

Created a new folder from thunderbird, copied some messages from another
folder into it and no problem, I can see those messages (all this  from
thunderbird)
I can see those messages on the server too of course. Now, I copy files from
another folder into that new folder (not from the client but from the
server), run reconstruct and cant see them either.
Same thing thats keeping me from seeing the backed up folders.


Already check permissions also from cyradm:
lam user.diego

Pleaaasee. Somebody help me on this.

Thanks
Diego
