Good morning,trying to get rid of some emails that have large attachments (i.e. videos sent over email, or cd images, etc...) Would it be proper to rm -rf /var/spool/imap/u/username/mailbox/4321. then reconstruct -rf user.username Or is there a more "proper" way using cyrus?
Not sure about deleting a single message but you can use ipurge to delete messages based on size. Good to use in a script to parses the mail spool.
IPURGE(8) IPURGE(8)
* NAMEipurge - delete mail from IMAP mailbox or partition based on age or size
SYNOPSIS ipurge [ -f ] [ -C config-file ] [ -x ] [ -X ] [ -i ] [ -s ] [ -o ] [ -d days | -b bytes | -k Kbytes | -m Mbytes ] [ mailbox-pattern... ] DESCRIPTIONIpurge deletes messages from the mailbox(es) specified by mailbox-pattern that are older or larger than specified by the -d, -b, -k or -m options. If no mailbox-pattern is given, ipurge works on all mailboxes. If the -x option is given, the message age and size MUST match exactly those specified by -d, -b, -k or -m. The are no default
values, and at least one of -d, -b, -k or -m MUST be specified.Ipurge by default only deletes mail below shared folders, which means that mails in mailbox(es) below INBOX.* and user.* stay untouched. Use the option -f to also delete
mail in mailbox(es) below these folders.Ipurge reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file unless specified otherwise by -C.
OPTIONS -f Force deletion of mail in all mailboxes. -C config-file Read configuration options from config-file. -d days Age of message in days. -b bytes Size of message in bytes. -k Kbytes Size of message in Kbytes (2^10 bytes). -m Mbytes Size of message in Mbytes (2^20 bytes).-x Perform an exact match on age or size (instead of older or larger).
-X Use delivery time instead of Date: header for date matches-i Invert match logic: -x means not equal, date is for newer, size is for smaller
-s Skip over messages that have the \Flagged flag set. -o Only purge messages that have the \Deleted flag set.
