I have a user who deleted an email and then cleared their Trash folder, but of course would like it back now.
Every night I stop Cyrus, and perform a tar of /var/spool/imap. What I tried to do was I created a new user and then I restored the users files into this new user's directory. I did this while I had Cyrus stopped. I then started Cyrus and tried to access this new user's mail folder. All I found were several empty emails and a half dozen unread emails, none of the ones I was looking for and no folders. I also noticed some of the files I had restored were now gone. I then stopped Cyrus again, performed the restore again, and then ran "reconstruct -r newusername". It completed and I then started Cyrus back up.
Now when I access the new user, it shows nothing.
Anyone have any suggestions on how I can accomplish this? Thanks.
Have you tried -f with reconstruct to create the folders?
-f Examine the filesystem underneath mailbox, adding all directories with a cyrus.header found there as new mailboxes. Useful
for restoring mailboxes from backups.
