You can run reconstruct and quota while cyrus-imapd is running.

If reconstruct does not succeed, verify the mailbox(es) are listed within
the output of 'ctl_mboxlist -d'. If not, you should add them via cyradm.
reconstruct may also fail for a given mailbox if you are missing the
cyrus.* files within its directory.

You might wish to backup the contents of the directories in question before
proceeding, in case you end up with missing flags or other data.
