Compte de restauration sounds good.

Here's what I found further down. I guess this might help. So far, I am only using "Compte de récupération/restauration".

[Quote]
When [Name of Program] restores an email it will try to send it through the outgoing server of the account it was deleted from. However, if this fails [Name of Program] will then attempt to restore the email through the selected account. Only email accounts with completed SMTP settings can be selected.

It sounds like the user, when restoring a deleted email, they can restore it to one of the existing accounts - not necessarily the one from which it was deleted.

Fallback I think they add fallback to emphasise that not only they do that restore to the account but the account is operational for the user ( fallback from the old account ).

I think fallback is mainly used for server/connexion problems. I understand it as a replacement account when a connexion problem occurs.

Hi Canalgi, good to see you're here, too! :)
Thank you and Arnold007 for your help. I tried "compte de récupération" which roughly amounts to the same thing, but then, why fall back? "Restore account" tells the story, doesn't it?
