Hi,

Hello,

A customer had space-problems on her phone, and did remove all e-mail.
Now it is gone in Thunderbird and in the webmail too...

But it is still there if I look in /var/spool/cyrus/mail/ .

I still have a backup, not sure what's the best to do.

With regards,
Paul van der Vlis

I expect this is because you have "delete_mode: delayed" and/or
"expunge_mode: delayed" in your config.

Hmm, no I have not.
I've grepped for delayed and expunge in imapd.conf, but no...

You should be able to recover the mails by either renaming them from the
$deletedprefix or by running "unexpunge".


I don't know what $deletedprefix is. But.. I could get all mail back with running:
/usr/lib/cyrus/bin/unexpunge -a -d user.username

;-)

Sorry, I don't really remember all the details...

Very much thank for your help!

But I must say that I don't understand this behaviour. So far I know an e-mail is gone on the server when I delete it...

I don't know which e-mail program was used on the phone.

With regards,
Paul van der Vlis


Regards,
Simon
