+=====Older version of VPOP3=====
+If you have a version of VPOP3 prior to v8.8, it may stop restoring a user's mailbox folder if it encounters a corrupted message, so one option is to use these steps on the 'vpop3_old' database
+[[repairing_corrupted_database#finding_the_problem_message]]
+to find and delete the problem messages. If you can't delete the problem messages, you could try marking them as deleted instead, which will make the message restore option skip those messages.
+In PSQL run this instead of deleting the message:
+  UPDATE messages.foldermessages SET deletedtime=now() WHERE msgdataid= <problem message id>;
