Question Mailarchive - Protect all mails from deleting

[TorbHo]

Server operating system version

Debian 11

Plesk version and microupdate number

18.0.58 #1

We need something like an email archive. Therefore, we plan to copy all emails from one mailbox to another.

Is there a way to protect a specific mailbox from accidentally deleting any emails?

No solution, yet?

How about a file / directory protection for this specific mailaddress via ssh?
Could this lead to any problems?

Thank you, Peter. I would also like to vote for it, but the topic has already been rejected by Plesk.In addition, my experience with feature requests is that it takes several years for Plesk to respond - if at all.

I don't have several years to spare, so I'm looking for a solution that helps me now.

I am not looking for a GoBD-compliant solution. I just want to protect all emails of a specific user from being deleted.

I tested the following

chattr +i

However, the emails weren't readable after that.
