An administrator should be able to write a small script from my first post in this thread (to the search of empty mailboxes and the command to delete), in order to not having to access the files. Hardy Am 01.04.2015 um 11:28 schrieb @lbutlr: > find /path/to/clean -type d -empty -delete

Hi Samuel,
you could do:
find -type d -name "* 1" -exec rmdir {} \;
instead of rm -r, this will delete only really empty directories (no
files, no hidden files).
Have a good day,

Re: Deleting empty folders
Hi Hardy, I had over 1600 folders, writing manually doveadm mailbox delete
would be a real pain. I guess I could script it but that's even more of a
pain. It would be nice if there was a command to remove empty mailboxes or
something similar.

Re: Deleting empty folders
Hello Samuel,
with mdbox as Maildir no direct file operations should beperforms. For
empty mailboxes that will ever happen, the "doveadm mailbox delete"
deletes the emails, if required in the mailbox.

Deleting empty folders
So, along with the problem of lots of folders ending in 1 1 1 1, I'd like to have a strategy to delete these. I was trying to understand if it is possible to use http://linux.die.net/man/1/doveadm-expunge to delete empty folders, but without also deleting messages? Is this possible and if so what is the syntax? Kind regards, Samuel
