Actually my guy made me a really quick script here that should work on all linux flavors to restore an account from archive as long as you use /var/surgemail for your destination and /usr/local/surgemail for your archive. https://github.com/unchained/surgemail_archive_script If you want to improve on it go ahead :) From: "Steven Kenney" <HIDDEN@wavedirect.org> To: surgemail-list@netwinsite.com Sent: Tuesday, August 11, 2015 9:14:04 AM Subject: Re: [SurgeMail List] Restoring a Mailbox Also forgot to mention that you need to preserve permissions. I had downloaded the dir to my computer and uploaded to the original directory. This overwrote the permissions. So it is better to copy/rsync it from the server itself to preserve all the unique permissions on each folder. For example find /usr/local/surgemail/archive_deleted/$domainname \| grep -r "$username" rsync -av --delete-during --progress --stats /usr/local/surgemail/archive_deleted/domain.name.com/ra/gd/username/ /var/surgemail/domain.name.com/ra/gd/username I'm thinking of making a script that will ask you for the account name, domain name and just run something like 1) Enter username 2) Enter domain name 3) Do you want to recover the $username mailbox from $archive_location (/usr/local/surgemail/archive_deleted/domain.name.com/ra/gd/username/) ? Y/N Would be cool if it already came included with Surgemail :) From: "Surgemail Support" <surgemailHIDDEN@t@netwinsite.com> To: surgemailHIDDEN@etwinsite.com Sent: Sunday, August 9, 2015 5:55:00 PM Subject: Re: [SurgeMail List] Restoring a Mailboc On 8/9/2015 1:09 AM, surgemailHIDDEN@etwinsite.com wrote: Any chance of automating this in the future in the UI?

I've just never needed to recover any before. A grep later I found the subdirectory that has the account (why you guys use all these random lettered directories I'll never know). Yeah I hate those too, but It's fairly critical for performance on some file systems and it's easier if it's always used even when not critical. I cannot find any documentation on the website for how to physically recover this account from archive_deleted folder. Anyone willing to help? Would I just create the new account, find the new dirs and copy the data in? Yes, that's it. ChrisP.
