NAME

       ipurge - 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...  ]

DESCRIPTION

       Ipurge  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.

FILES

       /etc/imapd.conf
