Zimbra Restore Mails From Store Folder

The mails can then be recovered by using zmmailbox as the Zimbra user.

Both the commands below give admin rights on zmmailbox prompt, so use any one.

zmmailbox -zadmin

or

zmmailbox adminAuthenticate -u https://server.domain.com:7071 admin@domain.com password

After that we create the 'Recovery' folder, and add messages to that folder from our old store folder.

mbox> selectMailbox agmadmin@witalsee.com
mbox agmadmin@witalsee.com> createfolder /Recovery
mbox agmadmin@witalsee.com> addMessage /Recovery /opt/zimbra/store.old/0/809/msg/0

'/opt/zimbra/store.old/0/809/msg/0' is the path to the folder containing the mails. Some IDs may have a large amount of mails, resulting in 'msg/1', 'msg/2', etc. These will have to be run one-by-one.
