1) I'm rsyncing the mailbox and the seen.db file over from our 2.2.13 
server (rsync -avpH --force --delete) .

2) I delete the thunderbird imap cache file (just to be sure)

3) I'm running a reconstruct -r user/zmully/Drafts

4) Open the mailbox via thunderbird

In the case of my Drafts folder, it's mostly read deleted mail, with a 
couple of read undeleted drafts (2.2.13). But looking at after moving 
and reconstructing it, it shows an odd number of unread, undeleted messages.

So a bit baffled....

I'm not getting any output from reconstruct -r in the logs other than: 
Oct 19 09:28:16 mail reconstruct[18856]: reconstructing user.zmully.Drafts
