Re: Fatal error: Exists wrong 513 512 483 17057

Awesome - yes, the IOERROR messages are because files it expected to find weren't there. It's frustrating that reconstruct isn't robust enough to bring a slightly bogus cyrus.index back from the dead, but the end result is a working mailbox with a fully correct cyrus.index file :)

The only thing that may have happened is that some emails which were previously deleted in the TareasCron folder came back from the dead - and of course all the flags on those messages will have gone away too. But the mailbox will work correctly now.

Cheers,

Bron.
