Greetings,
I have a user who has inadvertently deleted all the emails in a series
of folders. The emails are still in their physical mailbox directories
on the server and they can be seen grayed out within the roundcubemail
environment and each one can be selected and the contents reviewed.
The issue is that they want to un-delete these emails and I have read
that there is suppose to be a way to do this within roundcubemail by
right clicking on the folder and selecting 'un-delete' however this
option does not exist in either of two different Kolab 3.4
installations. (I will add that I have done recent (withing last 2
weeks) updates of both services for the Kolab environment.
In addition, when attempting to use the expunge command at the CLI it
does not see any of these emails as being marked for deletion or
available for recovery tho they are clearly residing in their respective
mailbox on the hard drive, can be see (tho grayed out) within
roundcubemail, and can have their contents reviewed. If I toggle the
'do not show deleted emails' in roundcubemail then these emails
disappear from the roundcubemail display.
The same information I have read suggests that the 'un-delete' option
from the pop up menu's has to be 'enabled' however there is no reference
there or in any search on the internet for enabling this option.
So.... to recount....
emails have been marked for deletion
emails can still be seen in kolab and look to be marked for deletion as
they are grayed out (further substantiated by enabling 'do not show
deleted emails' and having the emails in question disappear)
emails are still in their respective mailbox on the hard drive
emails do not show as marked for deletion when using [su - -s /bin/bash
cyrus -c "/usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/unexpunge -l
user/john.doe/Repairs at example.org"]
roundcubemail option to 'un-delete' in right click pop up menu does not
exist
we can find no where either in config files or through user settings on
roundcubemail to enable the un-delete option.
I also searched the users mailing list and could find nothing on this.
In a word........ help?
As always.... thanks to anyone who can shed light on this.
