Hi,
I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me with this. I am running Postfix 2.7.0, Dovecot 1.2.9 and squirrelmail. Every week, I perform a back-up on both Postfix and Dovecot (maildir and conf folders). That's good because I have all the emails backed up. And now what I would like to ask is whether or not there are any easy way of restoring e-mails if some emails got deleted by accident or for other reason. So far, I have tried to look up the answer on the Internet but got a bit of vague answer.
Other than finding and restoring the mail from backups, there's no simple way. Although you could configure Dovecot to do lazy-expunging: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Lazyexpunge
