Undeleting messages in a mailbox
The following examples assume you have an installation of cyrus where there are binaries in /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/ - if not, adjust path to suit.
List messages available to unexpunge:
# su cyrus -c "/usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/unexpunge -l user/simon@xxxxxxxxx"
Each message will give you something like the following:
UID: 11422
Size: 7786
Sent: Mon Mar 10 12:00:00 2014
Recv: Mon Mar 10 16:06:32 2014
Expg: Mon Mar 10 16:53:55 2014

re: sieveshell aborts with "expected rparen"
To unexpunge a single message:
# su cyrus -c "/usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/unexpunge -udv user/simon@xxxxxxxxx 11422"
restoring expunged messages in mailbox 'user/simon@xxxxxxxxx'
Unexpunged user/simon@xxxxxxxxx: 11422 => 11438
restored 1 expunged messages
To unexpunge all the messages and mark them as undeleted as well:
# su cyrus -c "/usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/unexpunge -adv user/simon@xxxxxxxxx"
NOTE: This isn't recursive
It will only restore the inbox. To find other folders run
# su cyrus -c "/usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/ctl_mboxlist -d" | grep leaky.org
leaky.org!user.simon 0 default simon@xxxxxxxxx lrswipkxtecda
leaky.org!user.simon.Lists 0 default simon@xxxxxxxxx lrswipkxtecda
leaky.org!user.simon.Lists.cyrus 0 default simon@xxxxxxxxx lrswipkxtecda
leaky.org!user.simon.Deleted Messages 0 default simon@xxxxxxxxx lrswipkxtecda
Run the unexpunge command for every folder that needs to have mail undeleted.
For folder names that have spaces ' ', the spaces need to be escaped with a backslash
su cyrus -c "/usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/unexpunge -adv user/simon/Deleted\ Messages@xxxxxxxxx"
