dovecot - May 2011 - dovecot user lost entire folder

Hello kind people,

OK, today is a bad day for me.
A user from a clients' site called early in the morning to inform
me that she lost an entire folder on thunderbird with (naturally)
important stuff in it.

I am trying to find the lost folder, but there is nowhere to be
found.

Any ideas would greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Spyros

Did you verify in the Maildir structure for that user?

Maildir/.folder
Maildir/.folder.subfolder

Thomas,

Thank you kindly.

I checked all the hidden files underneath 
maildir:/var/MailRoot/domains/%d/%n/Maildir
and coudn't find this specific folder.

Thank you again,
