[Dovecot] Recipe for "admin-less restore"
Is there a way for setting up dovecot in such a way that a user can "jump back in time" to an old mailbox "state" in order to retrieve his accidentially deleted mail?

Hi,
We use snapshots for this
namespace snaps-h-2 { prefix = INBOX.EmailBackup.h-2. hidden = no list = yes inbox = no location = maildir:/home/.snapshot/hourly.0/%u/Maildir:INDEX=/var/tmp/dovecot/indexes/hourly.0/%u:CONTROL=/var/tmp/dovecot/control/hourly.0/%u type = private }
