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

In that structure, the letter 'T' means that the message has been marked for deletion by the user. As a result, most IMAP clients will not show the message to the user and an "EXPUNGE" command on the mailbox will delete the message.
