Hi, Can anyone help me in this regard. I am using qmail-ldap and store mails in maildir format. Ho do the people on the list make backups of maildirs and how are those restored.?? when i move a mail from one folder to another , or from one maildir to another manually, then that mail becomes unreadable for client. What is the procedure for restoring a maildir, or a folder from inside a maildir.?
I will appreciate any kind of help in this regard. I Hope someone will answer. Regards, Qutub. > Hello everyone, > > I am facing problems while restoring the mails from backup.
