Hallo

@ Albert,

thanks for your quick response. I tried it with one user, however with 
no result. Still the same.

with mboxexamine user.bernd I get

Examining user.bernd... Mailbox Header Info:
   Path to mailbox: /var/spool/cyrus/mail/uuid/a/y/ayxkxdtkk6jeycf2t0peay4o
   Mailbox ACL: bernd   lrswipkxtecdan  
   Unique ID: ayxkxdtkk6jeycf2t0peay4o
   User Flags: NonJunk Junk

Then 3 Messages follow, which came in after upgrade.

However cyradm shows me two subfolders: Trash and Junk

Not very informative :-(.


The entry for ctl_cyrusdb -r is also in my cyrus.conf

Also executing it manually brought no results :-(.

I am really frustrated
