SUMMARY
=======
It may be necessary to restore a user mail account that was accidentally
deleted.
If the user was using Microsoft Mail for Windows, you can restore the old mail
message file (MMF) from backup and import it to the new account.
If the user was using Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, MS-DOS workstation, you can
use the steps below to access the old mail account:
1. Restore from backup a copy of the postoffice prior to the deletion. Restore
it to a location other than the existing postoffice location.
2. Using MOVEUSER, login to the current postoffice and the restored copy of the
postoffice.
3. Drag and drop the user from the restored copy of the postoffice to the
current postoffice.
4. The user will then have access to old mail, and any private and shared
folders that the user created. The user will not be readded to groups that he
or she was a part of before deletion. Consequently, group folders created by
the user will no longer be available.
MORE INFORMATION
================
This process simplifies the restore by not requiring archiving/unarchiving of
folders. However, the user will now have a new hexid, and all PAB entries
referencing this user will be invalid.
