I've been working on a process to restore single mailboxes, I have a script that runs daily and takes a snapshop of /var/vmail using tar. I removed all messages from a test mailbox and copied the test accounts maildir from the snapshot. The messages restore but they are all marked as unread. How do I restore this attribute for single mailboxes.

Thanks for this great project

Did you restore files which start with 'dovecot-' in user's mailbox?

File ownership is wrong.
