    So documentation has a part that talks about restoring deleted emails, so I followed this process with a new version that I had of emails in snapshots. I took the mail folder and I just made it into a zip folder right and I went into yellowtent into boxdata, and unzipped it and replaced the mail folder.

    But this seems to not bring back the emails I had before I migrated

    Reason why I use an old back is because it didn’t fail like the other one I was dealing with

    My assumptions was that the emails get put into the snapshot folder if that’s correct in the object storage this is exactly where I got this mail Folder and replaced the one that came from an older back up but seems to not work am I doing something wrong

      @mdc773 mail data is in a separate backup called mail.tar.gz. i.e it is not inside box.tar.gz . If you extract, mail.tar.gz in your computer or somewhere, you can find vmail/<mailboxname> . Each one is data of that mailbox . You can copy whichever mailbox you want into /home/yellowtent/boxdata/mail/vmail/<mailboxname> . It's also fine to just delete vmail altogether and use the vmail as-is from the backup extract. Depends on what you want to restore (a single mailbox or all).

      You might also want to restart the mail container after copying files over docker restart mail.
