NAME

       unexpunge - Cyrus IMAP documentation

       Recover messages the user has (accidentally) deleted.

SYNOPSIS

       unexpunge [ -C config-file ] -l mailbox
       unexpunge [ -C config-file ] -t time-interval [ -d ] [ -v ] [ -f flagname ] mailbox
       unexpunge [ -C config-file ] -a [ -d ] [ -v ] [ -f flagname ] mailbox
       unexpunge [ -C config-file ] -u [ -d ] [ -v ] [ -f flagname ] mailbox uid...

DESCRIPTION

       The  unexpunge  program is used to list or restore messages which have been deleted from a
       mailbox, but still reside in the Cyrus IMAP mail spool.

       This utility is only useful when the server is configured with expunge_mode set to delayed
       in its configuration file.

       unexpunge  reads  its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file unless specified
       otherwise by -C.

OPTIONS

       -C config-file
              Use  the  specified  configuration  file  config-file  rather  than   the   default
              imapd.conf(5).

       -l     List  the  expunged  messages  in  the  specified  mailbox  which are available for
              restoration.

       -t time-interval
              Unexpunge messages which where expunged within the last time-interval seconds.  Use
              one  of the trailing modifiers – m (minutes), h (hours), d (days) or w (weeks) – to
              specify a different time unit.

       -a     Restore all of the expunged messages in the specified mailbox.

       -u     Restore only messages matching the UIDs, in a space-separated list at  the  end  of
              the command invocation, in the specified mailbox.

       -d     Unset the \Deleted flag on any restored messages.

       -f flagname
              Set  the  user  flag  \flagname  on the messages restored, making it easier for the
              user(s) to find the restored messages and operate on them (in a batch).

       -v     Enable verbose output/logging.

EXAMPLES

       unexpunge -l user/john@example.org
          List  the  messages  that  are   expunged   and   could   be   restored   for   mailbox
          user/john@example.org.

       unexpunge -u user/john@example.org 278787 278788
          Unexpunge two of these messages.

       mbexamine user/john@example.org
          Examine the mailbox for the two restored messages.

       unexpunge -u -d user.johnsmith 46908
          Unexpunge a select message based on its UID, clearing the \Deleted flag.

       unexpunge -a user.johnsmit.Trash
          Unexpunge all messages in a user’s Trash, but leave them flagged \Deleted.

       unexpunge -a -f Flagged user.johnsmith.Trash
          The same, but setting user flag \Flagged to facilitate later bulk operations.

       unexpunge -t 24h -d -f Flagged user.johnsmith
          Unexpunge messages matching only a given time period.

       unexpunge -t 24h -d -f Flagged user/johnsmith
          The same command, supporting the unixhierarchysep: yes option in imapd.conf(5).
