Can you please explain how you do the restore?
I always restore at folder level, not mail level: in this case is the user that choose what to restore and I don't need to read the user's mail.
I create a .Restore directory and copy into it the restored folder files: the users simply sees a Restore folder and do whatevere he/she wants.
If I simply copy a mailfile e.g "MailDir/cur/my-email-file:2,S" to "MailDir/cur/" on the live system, are there issues associated with it ?
With a standard configuration there are no issues at all. Check that the permissions and user/group of restored files are ok.
Ciao, luigi
