    # The command below creates a tgz file with all emails for [email protected] in .eml format:
    # execute as root
    /opt/zimbra/bin/zmmailbox -z -m [email protected] getRestURL "//?fmt=tgz" > /tmp/account.tgz

    # You can do the same via a REST URL:
    wget http://ZIMBRA.SERVER/home/[email protected]/?fmt=tgz

    # to restore email:
    /opt/zimbra/bin/zmmailbox -z -m [email protected] postRestURL "//?fmt=tgz&resolve=reset" /tmp/account.tgz

    # The resolve= parameter has several options:
    # - skip: ignores duplicates of old items, it’s also the default conflict-resolution.
    # - modify: changes old items.
    # - reset: will delete the old subfolder (or entire mailbox if /).
    # - replace: will delete and re-enter them.
