No sorry, at that time I only posted here.

New server : v2.3.7-Invoca-RPM-2.3.7-7.el5_6.4 2006/07/10 13:46:20
Old server : don't know (but I don't think it plays any role because 
most of the data was recovered by reconstruct)

Yes, same problem.

Yes absolutely I launched "reconstruct -rf" but reconstruct is ignoring 
folders that only contains subfolders but no messages !

So what I did is now to add one file (message copied from elsewhere) in 
these folders but now I don't find a solution to make cyrus "rescan" 
these folders ?
