[Dovecot] Restoring Mails from Backup Archive

[Andreas Cieslak]

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

 

Now I copy the files from the archive into the Maildir/cur directory of the
user.

 

Then I set the permissions etc. and log in with the user account via
Squirrelmail.

 

The restored mails aren't in the INBOX, and when I go into the Maildir/cur
dir of the user, the restored mails are gone. Possibly deleted after the
login.

 

Had anyone some similar experiences ?

 

Any hints ?

 

Kind regards

Andreas
