You mean using 2.4.12's reconstruct? I am doing that, but it's not 
migrating Seen state. Is (-r) not enough?

My hope was to hold any incoming mail and logins during the migration, 
and then trigger reindexes of the hottest mailboxes on the system before 
allowing connections back to it. Basically, targeting inboxes and sent 
folders, so that the server isn't swamped with indexing as soon as 
everyones damn smartphone logs in. Something like $cyr_reindex user/z* 
user/z*/Sent, then cyr_expire can take care of everything else during a 
nightly run.
