NAME

       doveadm-force-resync - Repair broken mailboxes

SYNOPSIS

       doveadm [-Dv] force-resync [-S socket_path] mailbox
       doveadm [-Dv] force-resync [-S socket_path] -A mailbox
       doveadm [-Dv] force-resync [-S socket_path] -u user mailbox

DESCRIPTION

       Under  certain  circumstances  it may happen, that dovecot(1) is unable to automatically solve problems with mailboxes.	In such situations
       the force-resync command may be helpful.  It tries to fix all problems.	For sdbox and mdbox mailboxes  the  storage  files  will  be  also
       checked.

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

       mailbox
	      The name of the mailbox to fix. With mdbox all of the mailboxes are fixed, so you can use for example INBOX as the name.

EXAMPLE

       Fix bob's INBOX:

       doveadm force-resync -u bob INBOX

NAME

       doveadm-move - Move messages matching the given search query into another mailbox

SYNOPSIS

       doveadm [-Dv] move [-S socket_path] destination search_query
       doveadm [-Dv] move [-S socket_path] -A destination search_query
       doveadm [-Dv] move [-S socket_path] -u user destination search_query

DESCRIPTION

       doveadm move can be used for moving mails between mailboxes for one or more users.  The search_query is used to restrict which messages are
       moved into the destination mailbox.

       In the first form, doveadm(1) will executed the move action with the environment of the logged in system user.

       In the second form, doveadm(1) will iterate over all users, found in the configured user_db(s), and move each user's messages, matching the
       given search_query, into the user's destination mailbox.

       In the third form, matching mails will be moved only for given user(s).

OPTIONS

       Global doveadm(1) options:

       -D     Enables verbosity and debug messages.

       -v     Enables verbosity, including progress counter.

	      user.

ARGUMENTS

       destination
	      The  name of the destination mailbox, into which the mails should be moved.  The destination mailbox must exist, otherwise this com-
	      mand will fail.

       search_query
	      Move messages matching the given search query.  See doveadm-search-query(7) for details.

EXAMPLE

       doveadm move -u jane Archive/2011/09 mailbox INBOX BEFORE 
       2011-10-01 SINCE 01-Sep-2011
