Hi,

which cyrus-imapd version are you using?

Quoting Marcus Schopen <[email protected]>:

"Minor Version: 12" is very old. The Index Header "Minor Version" is  
increased every time the on
disk format of the index file has changed. The number 12 indicates  
cyrus-imapd 2.4.x

If you are using a newer cyrus-imapd version you have missed the step  
to upgrade the index file with
reconstruct -V max

Kind regards
