Thanks for that information bill. The T was the point which was important for me, because the user didn't tell me that the messages were already marked for deletion. - Anyway, in outlook the mails were visible (marked for deletion).

Hi List,
i am trying to restore mails from an backup-archive which was made with rsnapshot.
All the mails in the archive look similar like the following:
-rw------- 2 1014 1015 3308 8. Aug 13:42 1312803768.V809I266a00aM505178.server:2,ST
The portion of the filename after the ':' is a message status structure. In that structure, the letter 'T' means that the message has been marked for deletion by the user. As a result, most IMAP clients will not show the message to the user and an "EXPUNGE" command on the mailbox will delete the message.
