problem with a user mailbox

[Riccardo Veraldi]

reconstruct simply ignores the folders...

I had to dump mailboxes from the old server grepping the StormSupport 
folder and subfolders

/usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/ctl_mboxlist -u < /tmp/mailboxes.txt

then I added the missing mailboxes in the text file  and re-imported 
from text file and then it worked.

but I did not know why reconstruct could not find the folder itself...

the permission were ok I checked them many times.

thank you

Rick
P.S. I did not try with -x I ws in hurry to fix hte problem and it 
worked with ctl_mboxlist


than I had o reimport hte mailboxes
