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.

deliver - Delivers mail to an IMAP mailbox SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/deliver [-d] [-r address] [-f address] [-m mailbox] [-a auth-id] [-e] [-q] [-F flag]... [userid]... deliver -E days OPTIONS
Ignored for compatibility with /bin/mail Inserts a Return-Path: header containing address Inserts a Return-Path: header containing address Delivers to mailbox. If any userids are specified, attempts to deliver to user.userid.mailbox for each userid. If the access control list (ACL) on any such mailbox does not grant the sender the right to post mail (p right) or if -m is not specified, then delivers to the INBOX for the userid , regardless of the ACL on the INBOX. If no userids are specified, the deliver command attempts to deliver to mailbox. If the ACL on mailbox does not grant the sender the p right, the delivery fails. Specifies the authorization id of the sender. Defaults to "anonymous". Enables duplicate deliv- ery suppression. This suppresses delivery of the message to a mailbox if a message with the same message-id (or resent-message-id) is recorded as having already been delivered to the mailbox. Records the mailbox and message-id/resent-message-id of all successful deliveries. Delivers a message even when the receiving mailbox is over its quota. Sets the system option or keyword flag on the delivered message. Removes the duplicate delivery database of entries older than days. DESCRIPTION
The deliver command reads a message from the standard input and delivers it to one or more IMAP mailboxes. The deliver command reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf file. Depending on the setting of the reject8bit field in the imapd.conf file, deliver either rejects messages with 8-bit-set characters in the headers or changes these characters to X. FILE
