If the mailbox still exists in the DELETED hierarchy, then you can simply 
rename the mailbox using cyradm:

   rename DELETED.user.<username> user.<username>


This is only true if you are using delayed delete mode in imapd.conf:

   delete_mode: delayed


If the mailbox no longer exists in the DELETED hierarchy, follow these 
steps:

1. Re-create the mailbox using cyradm:

   cm user.<username>

2. Recover the message files (#. files) but not the cyrus.* files

3. Run "su cyrus -c '/usr/local/cyrus/bin/reconstruct -x -f 
user.<username>'"

4. Run "su cyrus -c '/usr/local/cyrus/bin/quota -f user.<username>'"


Let us know if you have any questions!
