Hello, I had to restore a mailserver from a backup to replace a system with problems that is still live. I did a 1:1 restore as far as possible from a backup, then rsynced the /var/vmail/ directory, where we have all the mailboxes, in sdbox format. So both directories should be the same. After syncing, I started dovecot. I can see the mails until to the point of the backup, but not the newer ones ,although they seem to be present in the "cur" directory. I thought with sdbox it is all in the index files that have been transferred with the mails? Or am I missing a place that has to be synced?
Thank you for hints, Jakob
