Re: Marking an entire mailbox read

I have an archive mailbox that contains in excess of 100,000 mail messages 
(stored in maildir) that accidentally got marked as unread. It is too large for 
my mail client to select all the mail and mark it as read without throttling.

Is there a simple way that I can use doveadm or something to simply mark every 
message in that maildir as read? Or do I just loop through every message and move it 
to +S?

find ~/Maildir/.Archive/cur/* -type f -name “1*:2” --exec mv {} {}S \;


Probably something like this:

doveadm flags -u bob remove '\Seen' mailbox dovecot

See `man doveadm flags` for more information.

For the record,I did the following, which appears to have worked:

find . -type f -name "1*2,*" -not -name "*2,S*" -exec mv {} {}S \;
