Thank you, but doveadm expunge will ask for the mailbox name:
[root@mail1 ~]# doveadm expunge -u john....@example.com ON 2013-08-07
doveadm(root): Fatal: expunge: To avoid accidents, search query must
contain MAILBOX in all search branches
What I need is to traverse *all* directories under
/var/spool/mail/vhosts/domainname/ (which are
/var/spool/mail/vhosts/domainname/username, with further variable
subdirectories, name never known in advance...) and to delete all
messages older than X days (incoming, sent, drafts, trash, etc.)
This must be done without manual confirmation ("are you sure...?") (if I
do it via a script run from cron).
>From the examples given in the wiki page, the expire plugin presents the
same problem: one must know in advance the *name of the mailbox* he has
to empty.
Also for the correct search criteria: should I use SAVEDBEFORE or
SENTBEFORE ?
Thanks again,
Răzvan
