Mail not visible after restore from backup.

[Nic Bernstein]

Are you sure you've running a version of reconstruct which matches your 
installation?  I ask because the man page for reconstruct from 2.3.16 
shows both -r and -f as permissible:

    -r

    Recursively reconstruct all sub-mailboxes of the mailboxes or
    mailbox prefixes given as arguments.


    -f

    Examine the filesystem underneath mailbox, adding all directories
    with a cyrus.header found there as new mailboxes. Useful for
    restoring mailboxes from backups.

    from
    http://www.cyrusimap.org/docs/cyrus-imapd/2.3.16/man/reconstruct.8.php

Depending upon how you installed Cyrus, from package or source, and 
which OS/distro you're using, there may be versions of binary utilities 
laying around from older versions of the software.  We've certainly seen 
that before.

Cheers,
     -nic
