At this point, you have restored the user’s or resource’s GroupWise account into the 
GroupWise system. However, this does not restore ownership of resources, nor does the 
account’s mailbox contain any item at this point.

If the restored user owned resources, manually restore the ownership, as described in 

Section 16.1, “Changing a Resource’s Owner,” on page 253

To restore the contents of the account’s mailbox, follow the instructions in 

Section 32.5, 

“Restoring Deleted Mailbox Items,” on page 413
