Hi guys.

I have the problem that by installing Alfresco 3.x we have deleted the User Homes Folder. (right now I'm running 4.0.0 (7))
Since this (couple years ago) we have empty trash a couple of times. … This meens that the Home Users Folder is no more restorable through the "restore from trash" function.

To enable IMAP, I face the issue that the service starter is looking for User Homes Folder. I've already tried to create a "normal" folder called Homes Folder. Unfortunately it searchs the "app:home_users". By creating a normal one… it is called cm:home_users.

My question is:
How can I restore the Home Users Folder?
Ive already tried to run the script

userhome = companyhome.createNode("User Homes", "app:user_homes");
userhome.save();‍‍

But I face the message:

Please correct the errors below then click Finish.

I'd export the folder from a clean repo and import to your broken repo.

Or write a patch to fix it.

You will also have lost your user's home folders which will also need replacing.
