Re: reconstruct: delete orphaned mails in files system

Hi,

check if the mails are flagged as \Deleted. Some Clients do not show  
these mails by default.
https://www.cyrusimap.org/2.5/imap/faqs/o-deleted-expired-expunged-purged.html

You use mbexamine to see the number of Mails Flagged as \Deleted with
mbexamine "user/loginID" | grep -e "^  Deleted: " -e "Mailbox Size:"  
-e "^Examining "

or which mails are flagged as deleted with "
mbexamine "user/loginID" | grep -B3 "FLAG_DELETED"

Which cyrus version are you using.
