good morning. due to a broken disk I would like to reset an account user1@mydomain.com email from another account (which I created as bacckup) backup@mydomain.com (user1 folder - in roundcube).
I wanted to "copy" the emails of the backup / user1 folder to user1.

Re: Backup email

Re: Backup email

thanks mr. zhang. but I have another doubt: doing so I will copy all the emails of all the accounts (useri1, user2, user3 ...) in backup@domain.com on user1@domain.com.
It's right?
I should only restore those of user1

Re: Backup email

In this case, you should use Postfix parameter "always_bcc" in /etc/postfix/main.cf, not per-user mail forwarding.
FYI: http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#always_bcc

Sorry about my misunderstanding in previous reply.
