Re: Recovering expunged but not purged e-mails from mdbox with zlib compression
This syntax is for accessing shared folders.
You probably should try
doveadm -Dv -o mail_location=mdbox_deleted:/path/to/mdbox fetch -u victim text ALL
Doveadm does not support var expand, so this will not work. See above for syntax.

Dear Aki
Thank you again.
Running
doveadm -Dv -o maillocation=mdbox_deleted:/usr/home/vmail/mail/username/mdbox/storage/file fetch -u username text all
Does dump messages out.
However the messages do not include two messages which are present in the mdbox file and which I recovered by hand and so am using as a test to see if I can extract them effectively. These were in the Drafts mailbox so I've also run the command with mailbox Drafts at the end.
The output seems to be just dumping messages which are not expunged!

Could one use this "mail_location=mdbox_deleted:/path/to/mdbox" for lets say a 'recovery' namespace. Where users can copy their deleted messages from?

messages back by having the index rebuilt but that would have been
this again the future and my method wouldn't work with a folder!
Clearly if I was not using zlib compression I could just have read
