This guide outlines the process to perform mailbox restorations within WHM via the Acronis plugin.
To begin, log in to WHM and enter “plugins” into the search box at the top left.

Once the “Mailboxes” section is loaded you can select whichever mailbox you would like to either “Recover” or “Download”. Once you have selected your mailbox click “Recover”:
After you select Recover, a dialogue box will appear with additional options. This is providing you with an option to delete any emails that were created after the backup was taken.

We can now see that the task is being completed by the Acronis Plugin as highlighted below:
The status bar will change when the operation is completed to “Succeeded”:
