## recovery step
In a recent blog post, I showed how I copy mail off to another location which it is archived, mbox fashion.

see http://dan.langille.org/2013/10/19/using-mbox-for-mail-backup/

What I didn't do at the time was come up with a recovery method.  Today, I found one.

First, determine what messages need to be added to your restored Maildir.  Copy those files to the IMAP server.

Then run this command:

  cat mbox.backup | formail -ds sh -c 'cat  |/usr/local/bin/maildrop -d ${USER}'

My IMAP server uses maildrop for the final delivery:

$ cat ~/.forward
"|/usr/local/bin/maildrop -d ${USER}"

The above command takes the mbox backup and reinjects it as if it was just being delivered gain.  NOTE: the headers you see within the email will match those of the backup site, not the primary site.
