Ummm, nope? Unless you mean the output of mboxlist. But in my mail 
client (thunderbird) I don't see anything. That's the main problem. Or 
is mboxlist regarded as a client? That interacts with the server?

Just to learn the terminology: what are those metadata files? the cache 
and header and index files in every folder?

BTW those have a datetime of:

cyrus.annotations: 2018??? is that normal? is this file still being used 
and what is it actually? But obviously neither the upgrade nor 
reconstruct or anything has touched those files. Were probably created 
upon the installation oand setup of this box and probably haven't been 
touched ever since.

cyrus.cache and index: current time. I did send myself a new email to 
test (and it arrived fine again, and could delete it as well). probably 
that's the timestamp of these files.

cyrus.header: yesterday.

How do I know if it finds old mails? It just spit out the user's full 
folder tree under it's mailbox, similarly to ctl_mboxlist, but without 
the ACLs etc. Just a plain dir tree.

Oh and just to be sure: I did run the reconstruct with the server 
stopped. I thought it wouldn't like it's files being possibly 
manipulated while it uses them. Is it how it supposed to be done? Or 
rather with the server running?
