Hi,
I'm making a backup and restore of the vmail directory with BackupPC and everything looks nice, then i restore from the web console of the backuppc a few e-mail from any users and this are copied to the same directory where BackupPC make the backup, the owner of the file is the user vmail and the permissions are the same from other files, the problem is that i can't see this restored mails from the webmail, am i doing something wrong? or maybe i am missing something?

Thanks.

Remove 'dovecot*' files in mailbox, then try to access mailbox via webmail again. Dovecot should re-generate index files and others.
