Recovering an email

[Christopher Paluch]

I have a user who deleted an email and then cleared their Trash folder, 
but of course would like it back now.

Every night I stop Cyrus, and perform a tar of /var/spool/imap.  What I 
tried to do was I created a new user and then I restored the users files 
into this new user's directory.  I did this while I had Cyrus stopped.  
I then started Cyrus and tried to access this new user's mail folder.  
All I found were several empty emails and a half dozen unread emails, 
none of the ones I was looking for and no folders.  I also noticed some 
of the files I had restored were now gone.  I then stopped Cyrus again, 
performed the restore again, and then ran "reconstruct -r newusername".  
It completed and I then started Cyrus back up.
Now when I access the new user, it shows nothing.

Anyone have any suggestions on how I can accomplish this?  Thanks.
