.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
The \fBunexpunge\fP program is used to list or restore messages which have
been deleted from a mailbox, but still reside in the Cyrus IMAP mail
spool.
.sp
This utility is only useful when the server is configured with
\fBexpunge_mode\fP set to \fBdelayed\fP in its configuration file.
.sp
\fBunexpunge\fP reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file unless specified otherwise by \fB\-C\fP\&.
