NAME
  reconstruct - Reconstructs IMAP mailboxes

SYNOPSIS
  /usr/bin/reconstruct [-r] mailbox...

  /usr/bin/reconstruct -m

OPTIONS
  -r  Recursively reconstruct all sub-mailboxes of the mailboxes or mailbox
      prefixes given as arguments.

  -m  Rebuild the mailboxes file.  Uses whatever data in the existing
      mailboxes file it can collect, then scans all partitions listed in the
      imapd.conf(4) file for additional mailboxes.

DESCRIPTION
  The reconstruct command rebuilds one or more IMAP mailboxes.	When invoked
  with the -m switch, it rebuilds the master mailboxes file.  It can be used
  to recover from almost any sort of data corruption.

  If the reconstruct command can find existing header and index files, it
  attempts to preserve any data in them that is not derivable from the
  message files themselves.  The state reconstruct attempts to preserve
  includes the option names, option state, and internal date. The reconstruct
  command derives all other information from the message files.

  The reconstruct command reads its configuration options from the
  imapd.conf(4) file.

  The reconstruct command does not adjust the quota usage recorded in any
  quota root files.  After running the reconstruct command, run the
  imapquota(8) command with the -f switch in order to fix the quota root
  files.

FILES
  /etc/imapd.conf
      Configuration file for the IMAP server
