The question came up from the following bug report: http://bugzilla.cyrusimap.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3449
Where there were spool files on disk, but no meta data left. Reconstruct gave no information about the files on disk at all. I see 4 options, can I'd like some opinions on what people think reconstruct should do. Speak now(ish) or hold your peace! 1) what we do now - require a cyrus.header in the directory or ignore it. 2) like (1) but warn about the directory with no cyrus.header 3) add the mailbox if there's a directory, don't require cyrus.header. 4) like (3) - but check that there's at least one cyrus.* file OR at least one message file in the directory before creating the mailbox. (so an empty directory doesn't generate a bogus mailbox, and neither does one containing nothing that looks like it belongs in a mailbox) Alright, cast your votes! I'll come back to this thread in a week or so and implement the winner. (4) is the hardest to implement, but even that's not very tricky.
