How did you use mha-dbrecover? Get any errors? Note, there was
a bug in v2.4.1 mha-dbrecover, however, the bug causes mha-dbrecover
to terminate before it does anything. A patch was posted to the list.
Or you could use v2.4.0 or v2.4.2's mha-dbrecover.

It should create a new archive (db and thread index). If you still
have all the originals in the mailbox being processed, they should
show up in the new archive.
