Restored imap folder, items missing.

[keat63]

I inadvertantly deleted an IMAP folder from a users mailbox, not to worry, I have a backup from last week.
So I restored home/user/mail/domain/account and the particular imap folder.

I can subscribe to this folder, but it's showing as empty, even though I can see the half doizen os so emails in the cur folder via FTP.

I guess I restored the wrong folder ?

Any ideas how I get these emails back .

I figured this out.

When I restored the folder, I did so as the root user.
FTP using the user account and now the emails are accessible.

Hi @keat63

I'm glad you found the reason for the issue, this was going to be my suggestion as well. Thanks for letting us know!
