How can I search and delete mail?
Hi,
I'd like to delete emails on one of my Linux boxes using a criteria and I don't really know where to start. Any suggestions?
The emails I'd like to delete have all the following sub-string: checkdefunct.sh.sh
I have more than 187.000 emails and 90% of them I'd like to get rid of.
Thank you,
Fabio

DESCRIPTION
tracker-search searches all indexed content for EXPRESSION. The resource in which EXPRESSION matches must exist (see --all for more infor-
