dovecot mailing list --dovecot@dovecot.org To unsubscribe send an email todovecot-leave@dovecot.org I have a file backup and since that backup, new emails have been received. Also, not all of the emails were deleted - many folders weren't affected. Additionally I was able to restore a few of the deleted emails with ext4magic.
So now I have three sources:
- MAIN (new dovecot) contains the emails in the folders that weren't deleted and the emails received after the incident.
- BACKUP (of mail directory) contains all emails from last backup date (including those still in the folders that weren't deleted).
- RECOVER (directory) contains deleted email files that were recovered.
How can I join these sources into MAIN,
- without deleting any emails from MAIN (for example those that have been received today) and
- with only reading and not writing into BACKUP and RECOVER?
Is there any more or less convenient way to achieve that? If not, can I just dump all the files together and make dovecot recreate the indexes?
