Thanks, all, for the generous help. Bron asked about output from reconstruct, which never provided any. It turns out that I was using the wrong delimiters (., per chk_cyrus output, rather than /), and reconstruct wasn't even trying. It looks like all the missing mail is accessible again.

Simon, I did recover /var/lib/imap (although a bit later, FWIW) and /etc/imapd.conf. I just now compared /etc/cyrus.conf and added squatter & adjusted prefork numbers -- the rest all matched. Is there other configuration I should check? Both systems are 64-bit CentOS 5, so the

All, I have run a small mail service based on Cyrus IMAP for a few years. The (CentOS 5) server I've used for the past couple years failed last week. I brought up a new CentOS 5 system on a new Linux server, installed cyrus-imapd-2.3.7-7.el5_4.3, mounted the old /var disk (actually one of
