 +====Recycle Bin==== 
 +If you have recently deleted messages by mistake, and want to undelete them, you can use the 'recycle bin' functionality in VPOP3 Enterprise. 
 + 
 +In the VPOP3 settings, go to Users, then double-click the user in question to edit their account. Go to the ''Advanced'' tab. 
 + 
 +In the ''Since'' boxes, choose the time & date you want to undelete messages from, and press ''Undelete''This will undelete any messages which were deleted after the specified date/time. You can also check the ''unread'' and/or ''starred'' boxes to have the undeleted messages automatically be marked unread and/or flagged, so they are easier to find.

 +The VPOP3 recycle bin keeps messages for the time specified in Settings -> Database -> Message Store

 +====Partial Restore==== 
 +You can perform a partial restore of a database backup by going to Settings -> Database -> Restore

 +First, you need to restore the backup into a PostgreSQL database. Do this using the pg_restore command. From a command-line in the VPOP3 directory, run 
 + 
 +  pgsql\bin\createdb -U postgres -p 5433 -E SQL_ASCII -T template0 vpop3back 
 +  pgsql\bin\pg_restore -U postgres -p 5433 -d vpop3back -v <backup file> 
 +   
 +(the password is 'pgsqlpass'
 +   
 +This will restore the backup database to the 'vpop3back' database 
 + 
 +Then, in the ''Restore'' tab in the VPOP3 Database section, enter: 
 +  * Server: localhost 
 +  * Username: postgres 
 +  * Password: pgsqlpass 
 +  * Database: vpop3back 
 + 
 +Choose the relevant username/folder(s). You can choose which user/folder the messages will be restored to, and whether they will be marked unread or flaggedThen press ''Start Restore''
