sorry, by recover, i meant recover from tape. but i didn't want to
just recover on top of the inbox. i'm trying the theory of recovering
to a new folder and then copying via imap rather than try to do any

I think that recovering to a new folder, and then letting the user
decide what to do with it, is best. There is some black magic possible,
but it's best left to sorcerers who can talk with the user and determine
if invoking demons is safe... ;-)
That's what we do. Restore the folder to <folder>.bck and let the user
extract the messages they need. Quick, simple and understandable by
the user...
