The previous thing was the output that I was obtaining in the console
when executing 'reconstruct'. This is what I get in the syslog when
executing the command with the '-G' flag:

----------

But in essence the console shows the same output as without adding '-G':

user.admin.Drafts

Let's try the pretty extreme approach... :-D

I guess the 'IOERROR' is because the cyrus.index file can not be found.
When afterwards it says 'create new mailbox user.admin.TareasCron' what
it is creating is the index? Because, if so, I don't understand why
later it says 'failed to read index header for user.admin.TareasCron'.

In any case, I am now able to access the 'TareasCron' folder without
problems. Thank you so much!

I think the only problem was with this folder. The access to the other
mailboxes worked without problems after the upgrade.


Thank you very much for your time.

Kind regards,
Daniel
