thanks John,
can you let me know the command for the net version.
had a quick look in:
http://wiki.zimbra.com/index.php?tit...dition_Restore
and it has info on Restoring Individual Accounts but not restore individual e-mail

Try this:
Restoring Individual Accounts on a Live System

Use the zmrestore command to restore one or more selected accounts. In the event that a user’s mailbox has become corrupted, you might want to restore that user from the last full and incremental backup sets.

Note: You can also restore one account at a time from Accounts on the administration console.

To restore using the CLI command
1.
To put all accounts into maintenance mode, from the command line, enter zmprov ma zimbraAccountStatus maintenance

The maintenance mode prevents delivery of new emails during the restore. Otherwise, the emails would be overwritten during the restore process.

2.
Run the zmrestore command to restore the accounts. Use commas between accounts.
zmrestore -s <server> -a (account@abc.com, account@abc.com

3.
Put all accounts into active mode, from the command line, enter zmprov ma zimbraAccountStatus active

This restores all account@abc.com e-mails.
is it possible to restore just one single e-mail for this user not all his e-mails

ohhh!
I didn't understand that's what you wanted. I think someone else would know better than I. Let me ask.

I need this too.

If I remember well, I read an answer a long time ago that was : restore the full account under another name then use an IMAP client to move the needed email from the "restored" account to the "live" account...

Hi JHolder - I've tried using the zmprov ma zimbraAccountStatus maintenance to put accounts into maintenance mode, but it seems to have no effect - emails are still delivered and the account status does not change in the Zimbra Admin UI. Does this command still work? I get no console error.

Cheers!

I think it's not correct syntax for the zmprov command, i.e. it should be called like this:

zmprov ma <accountname> zimbraAccountStatus maintenance
