zimbra-mail-recovery

A simple tool created using bash scripting, to perform recovery or restore Zimbra mail based on the data in the store [ /opt/zimbra/store ]

The idea of this tool is when you lost or not found mail in the user mailbox, but you can find the mail in the store directory with .msg format.

This tool will help you in recovering/restoring/injecting mail obtained in .msg format for a specific user or even all users registered on your Zimbra servers.

Configuration

1. Clone this repos: git clone https://github.com/leonyonz/zimbra-mail-recovery.git
2. Open and adjust the script inside restore.sh

• If you want recovering all mail in your zimbra services

USERS=$(su - zimbra -c "zmprov -l gaa | sort")

• If you want recovering some mail with list

• If you want recovering single mail only

USERS="[email protected]"

• Im assuming you place the tools inside /tmp directory, if you not use /tmp please adjust this.
