Hello
Every night a backup of all mailboxes is performed to a NFS mounted
partition
All our mailboxes are now in MDBOX format.
I wonder how it would be possible to recover one email accidentally
deleted by a user ?
It was easy in MBOX format to extract and save it using mutt ( as root )
from the backuped mbox then re-copy it to the user's mbox.
Of course I should access to the backup mailboxes space using thunderbird
but doing this I need to know every users's passwords, that is unacceptable.
for security and privacy reasons.
Let users access to the backup space is not possible of course.
Is there a tool ?
Thanks
