Re: Recovering Mail

[Robert Scussel]

There are a couple of ways to do this.

One is via cyradm:

        cyradm --user cyrus --server localhost
        cm user.dfrey.Sent
Then copy the mails themselves into the directory and run

	reconstruct -r user.dfrey.Sent

Couldn't you setup the user.dfrey.Sent folder, then recover the actual 
messages, putting them into that directory, then run reconstruct?


I don't really understand what you are saying.  I don't know how to use 
Cyrus that well yet.  What do you mean by "setup the user.dfrey.Sent 
folder"?
