Title: Restore mail after server crash
Post by: fpcomputers on February 28, 2007, 07:01:57 AM

I've making a backup of a client SME server with rsync to my host.
After a crash of that server I make a new installation to this server and put back the files of my rsync backup.
Everything seems to work fine, execpt the mail messages.
When I open the webmail on this server I can only see unknown address and unkbown subject to the restored messages.

Is there any solution to get these messages to a normal state?

Any help is welcome!

It sounds like you will need to manually chown the Maildir for each user eg
cd /home/e-smith/files/users/username
chown -R username:username Maildir

Ik heb geprobeerd dit uit te voeren en de server geeft geen foutmeldingen.
Echter is er in de mail nog niets veranderd.
