I always restore at folder level, not mail level: in this case is the user that
choose what to restore and I don't need to read the user's mail.

I create a .Restore directory and copy into it the restored folder files: the
users simply sees a Restore folder and do whatevere he/she wants.

With a standard configuration there are no issues at all. Check that the
permissions and user/group of restored files are ok.



Ciao,
