Question on labels and on dates of uploaded emails #298

Closed caspertone2003 closed 3 years ago

Hi, I am unable to understand why #297 was closed. #296 is not addressing my question. I read the documentation and searched through the issues, and was unable to find answer to my question. So, let me try again. My two questions:

Is there any way to just bakcup labels and restore labels, no email down/up?
Are restored emails receiving their original receive timestamp or do they receive the date of restore?

Please bear me as I was unable to find answers to them.

Thanks!

It's not possibile to backup just the labels; for the second question, restored email retain the original date.
