Re: Backup and restore individual emails

iRedMail stores mail in plain file, so just find the emails you want to restore in backup copy, then copy them to user's mailbox with correct file owner (vmail:vmail) and permission (0700).

Re: Backup and restore individual emails

Assume a user accidentally deleted emails of 100 Mb.  Then he receives or sends still what that letter. A few days later I restored him these letters. What will happen to the counter and the counter volume of letters mailbox?
