DOVEADM-USER(1) Dovecot DOVEADM-USER(1) NAME
doveadm-user - Perform a user lookup in Dovecot's userdbs SYNOPSIS
doveadm [-Dv] user [-a userdb_socket_path] [-f field] [-u] [-x auth_info] user ... DESCRIPTION
The user command is used to perform a user lookup - to show what information Dovecot sees about the user(s), or if it exists at all in the configured userdb(s). The auth_info may be useful when the userdb is for example a SQL database and you are using %variables, like %s or %l, in the user_query setting. Or when you have configured the userdb in a way like this: userdb { driver = passwd-file args = /etc/%s.passwd } OPTIONS
Global doveadm(1) options: -D Enables verbosity and debug messages. -v Enables verbosity, including progress counter. Command specific options: -a userdb_socket_path This option is used to specify an absolute path to an alternative UNIX domain socket. By default doveadm(1) will use the socket /var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb. The socket may be located in another directory, when the default base_dir setting was overridden in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf. -f field When this option and the name of a userdb field is given, doveadm(1) will show only the value of the specified field. -u When this option is given, doveadm(1) will only show values from the userdb. Without -u parameter if any of the uid, gid, home or mail fields are missing, their defaults are taken from configuration file. -x auth_info auth_info specifies additional conditions for the user command. The auth_info option string has to be given as name=value pair. For multiple conditions the -x option could be supplied multiple times. Possible names for the auth_info are: service The service for which the userdb lookup should be tested. The value may be the name of a service, commonly used with Dove- cot. For example: imap, pop3 or smtp. lip The local IP address (server) for the test. rip The remote IP address (client) for the test. lport The local port, e.g. 143 rport The remote port, e.g. 24567 ARGUMENTS
user Is a user's login name. Depending on the configuration, a login name may be for example jane or john@example.com. It's also possi- ble to use '*' and '?' wildcards (e.g. -u *@example.org). EXAMPLE
Perform a user lookup for the users jane and john@example.com. doveadm user jane john@example.com userdb: jane uid : 8001 gid : 8001 home : /home/jane mail : sdbox:~/sdbox plugins : sieve quota_rule: *:storage=150M userdb: john@example.com home : /srv/mail/8/70312/79832 uid : 79832 gid : 70312 mail : mdbox:~/mdbox The next example shows a user lookup, using wildcards. doveadm user *.?oe@example.net jane.doe@example.net judy.roe@example.net john.doe@example.net REPORTING BUGS

DOVEADM-IMPORT(1) Dovecot DOVEADM-IMPORT(1) NAME
doveadm-import - Import messages matching given search query SYNOPSIS
doveadm [-Dv] import [-S socket_path] source_location dest_parent search_query doveadm [-Dv] import [-S socket_path] -A source_location dest_parent search_query doveadm [-Dv] import [-S socket_path] -u user source_location dest_parent search_query DESCRIPTION
This command can be used to import mails from another mail storage specified by source_location to one or more user's mailboxes. All the mailboxes are imported under the given dest_parent mailbox, or to root level if dest_parent is empty (""). The search_query can be used to restrict which mailboxes or messages are imported. In the first form, doveadm(1) will executed the import action with the environment of the logged in system user. In the second form, the mails will be imported for all users. In the third form, the mails will be imported only for given user(s). OPTIONS
Global doveadm(1) options: -D Enables verbosity and debug messages. -v Enables verbosity, including progress counter. Command specific options: -A If the -A option is present, the command will be performed for all users. Using this option in combination with system users from userdb { driver = passwd } is not recommended, because it contains also users with a lower UID than the one configured with the first_valid_uid setting. When the SQL userdb module is used make sure that the iterate_query setting in /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext matches your data- base layout. When using the LDAP userdb module, make sure that the iterate_attrs and iterate_filter settings in /etc/dovecot/dove- cot-ldap.conf.ext match your LDAP schema. Otherwise doveadm(1) will be unable to iterate over all users. -S socket_path The option's argument is either an absolute path to a local UNIX domain socket, or a hostname and port (hostname:port), in order to connect a remote host via a TCP socket. This allows an administrator to execute doveadm(1) mail commands through the given socket. -u user/mask Run the command only for the given user. It's also possible to use '*' and '?' wildcards (e.g. -u *@example.org). When neither the -A option nor -u user was specified, the command will be executed with the environment of the currently logged in user. ARGUMENTS
dest_parent The name of the destination mailbox, under which the mails should be imported. doveadm(1) will create the dest_parent mailbox if it doesn't exist. search_query Copy messages matching this search query. See doveadm-search-query(7) for details. source_location This argument specifies the mailbox format and location of the source location. The syntax is the same as for the mail_location set- ting. For example: maildir:/backup/20101126/jane.doe/Maildir or mdbox:/srv/mail/john.doe/mdbox:ALT=/nfsmount/john.doe/mdbox EXAMPLE
This example imports all mails from a backup under a backup-20101026 mailbox: doveadm import -u jane.doe@example.org mdbox:/backup/20101026/jane.doe/mdbox backup-20101026 all Another example that imports only messages from foo@example.org in the backup mdbox's INBOX to jane's INBOX: doveadm import -u jane.doe@example.org mdbox:~/mdbox-backup "" mailbox INBOX from foo@example.org REPORTING BUGS
