NAME

       doveadm-flags - add, remove or replace messages' flags

SYNOPSIS

       doveadm [-Dv] flags [-S socket_path] command flags search_query
       doveadm [-Dv] flags [-S socket_path] command flags search_query -A
       doveadm [-Dv] flags [-S socket_path] command flags search_query -u user

DESCRIPTION

       This command is used to manipulate flags of messages.

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

       flags  Message  flags as described in RFC 3501, section 2.3.2 (Flags Message Attribute): Answered, Deleted, Draft, Flagged, Recent and
	      Seen.  And the IMAP keywords $Forwarded, $MDNSent, $SubmitPending and $Submitted or user-defined keywords, e.g. Junk,  $NonSpam	or
	      $Label1.
	      One or multiple flags and/or keywords can be specified.
