regarding this point: we’re still on Cyrus 2.4 (sigh), and we run this job 
monthly:

/usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/chk_cyrus 2>/dev/null | /usr/bin/perl -nle 
's/\./\//g;/(^.*) uid/;print "\"$1\""'| /bin/sort | /usr/bin/uniq | 
/usr/bin/xargs -rn 1 /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/reconstruct

It runs reconstruct on all mailboxes that chk_cyrus complains about. When your 
server is running stable, there might not be anything to do, but there were 
times when we had multiple mailboxes with issues per month.

I think that’s a useful tool to have. Is the idea that it’s not required 
anymore in current versions, or just that nobody has thought of it?

Cheers,
Sebastian
