I tried the following:

Have you tried reconstructing the top level folder? I.e.:
/kolab/bin/cyrreconstruct -r -f <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"
href="mailto:user/j%5Em%5Edekker/Leveranciers@intronics.nl">user/j^m^dekker/Leveranciers@intronics.nl</a>
</pre>

This gives the following result:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"
href="mailto:user/j.m.dekker/Leveranciers@intronics.nl">user/j.m.dekker/Leveranciers@intronics.nl</a><br>
<br>
If I use:<br>
<pre wrap="">/kolab/bin/cyrreconstruct -r -f <a
class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"
href="mailto:user/j%5Em%5Edekker/Leveranciers/*@intronics.nl">user/j^m^dekker/Leveranciers/*@intronics.nl</a></pre>
then I see all folders and subfolders below Leveranciers in the result.
(not Leveranciers itself) so I tried:<br>
<br>
/kolab/bin/cyrreconstruct -r -f
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"
href="mailto:user/j%5Em%5Edekker/Leveranciers*@intronics.nl">user/j^m^dekker/Leveranciers*@intronics.nl</a>
<br>
<br>
which does the same as above, but does include the Leveranciers folder
itself.<br>
However, still no sign of the R--S folder...<br>

<pre wrap="">As far as I remember this is necessary to tell Cyrus about the new folder - it
will not recognise it automatically.
Also, I strongly recommend to re-calculate your quotas after you have restored
your folders, otherwise they can get quite out of whack. Cyrus does not do
this for you if you add/delete mail "manually" to/from the spool. The command
is: su - kolab-r -c "/kolab/bin/cyrquota -f"
A word of caution: This will recalculate *all* quotas - there seems to be no
easy way to recalculate the quota for only one user. Also, if you already
have restored/deleted manually in the spool in the past, your quotas may
already be wrong. If this is the case, the recalculation can produce very
strange results. Running it more than once can help, or, if that does not
help, reconstruct the complete mailbox of any user whose quota is off, then
re-run the quota command.

OK, That's good to know. In this case, the user in question has no
quota set, because his mailbox is about 6GB. I have found that setting
a quota larger than 3GB gives problems on Kolab 2.0.4.<br>

I think I have to follow another procedure:<br>
<br>
Create a (temporary) kolab mailserver with the latest version of kolab.<br>
Create the user in kolab, and restore the folder to that mailserver.<br>
reconstruct the folder on that mailserver.<br>
Add a new account to Thunderbird for the temporary mailserver<br>
Drag and drop the folder from the new temporary account to the original
account<br>
<br>
Does this seem to be a good workaround to you?<br>
<br>
Thanks for your co-operation.<br>
