Zitat von Jeff Mitchell <jeffrey.mitch...@gmail.com>:
I have a script that can find these duplicated messages (by ignoring
the first few and last few lines of each message, and using SHAs to
compare and find the duplicates). However, I don't see a doveadm style
command to manually delete messages, except for doveadm-expunge. In
Well...
doveadm is an abstraction layer to the user. It doesn't care that you
want to delete file x or y, it does care that you want to delete that
one specific mail and locates it for you and deletes it then. That's
being done on purpose.
And deleting mails with doveadm needs to operations:
1. you need to mark the mail for deletion, means you need to expunge it, then
2. you need to purge it.
Purging all your mailboxes should be done in a maybe daily run cron job.
And how to construct a dovecot search query is documented here:
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Doveadm/SearchQuery
You could use the message UID to delete those pesky messages maybe.
Of course you could try deleting those messages on your own and run
afterwards a doveadm index. This should also do the job.
