Converting to DB repository & file recovery

Would anyone know if it is possible recover emails that were sent to users BEFORE a conversion to a DB repository?

Some email sneaked thru before the conversion to a db repository from a file repository.  Anyway to save those and send them to the database?  Or some other way of recovery?

Thanks much...

On the list of things to do in James v3.

You might try copying the files from the mail box to the spool, and
restarting james.  But I think that there might also be a need to patch a
value in the object related to the message state.

Alternatively, you could write a tool to deserialize the Object file, and
store it into the correct fields of the database table, and stream the
Stream file into the appropriate blob.
