[Dovecot] duplicate all emails for 'backup' after user deletes them?
I have a user who occasionally reads, then deletes emails using his phone, on his and others email accounts, causing emails deleted on mail server, then he says 'oops, can you recover emails I've deleted?'
what's the best way to duplicate all emails to duplicate accounts ? backup folders ? so, next time he deletes emails they can be 'recovered' on the server ?
I was thinking along the lines of duplicating ALL emails...?
any tips and pointers appreciated

configure his phone to leave messages on the server
if this is the case and he is deleting them manually explain him that it is NOT your problem if he is too stupid to use email at all and sooner or later he will learn it

you may do it like this, other soltuions may also thinkable ( depends on your local needs and setup)
configure email archive i.e with postfix
with i.e
always_bcc = address Deliver a copy of all mail to the specified address. In Postfix versions before 2.1, this feature is implemented by smtpd(8), qmqpd(8), or pickup(8). sender_bcc_maps = type:table Search the specified "type:table" lookup table with the envelope sender address for an automatic BCC address. This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later. recipient_bcc_maps = type:table Search the specified "type:table" lookup table with the envelope recipient address for an automatic BCC address. This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
deliver bc whatever to a second imap account mailbox in a folder set read only via acl i.e with sieve, if you want ,sort by date too etc so if mail was lost ,why ever, the user is able to login into his archive and copy that mail back to his real account

surely
even the boss has to understand that there is no technical solution for a social problem - if not: wrong company
