DESCRIPTION

       Unexpunge is used to restore expunged messages which have yet to be removed from the Cyrus
       mailspool.  This utility is only useful when the  server  is  configured  to  use  delayed
       expunge.

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

OPTIONS

       -C config-file
              Read configuration options from config-file.

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

       -t time-interval
              Unexpunge   messages  which  were  expunged  in  the  last  time-interval  seconds.
              (modifiers: m: minutes, h: hours, d: days, w: weeks).

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

       -u     Restore only those messages having the specified UIDs in the specified mailbox.

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

       -f flagname
              Set the user flag flagname on any restored messages.  This  can  make  it  easy  to
              batch operate on just the restored messages afterwards.

       -v     Enable verbose output/logging.
