I copied the complete mailbox to another cyrus test system and did a
"reconstruct -f -r", which cleaned up the INBOX to the 60 visible mails
and 400 deleted mails. Question to me is now how or what happend on the
live system that the INBOX stored this massive number of odd(?) mail
files in the filesystem?
