NAME
       doveadm-purge - Remove messages with refcount=0 from mdbox files

SYNOPSIS
       doveadm [-Dv] purge [-S socket_path]
       doveadm [-Dv] purge [-S socket_path] -A
       doveadm [-Dv] purge [-S socket_path] -u user

DESCRIPTION
       The  doveadm  purge  command  is  used  to  remove  all	messages with refcount=0 from a user's mail storage.  The refcount of a message is
       decreased to 0 when the user (or some administration utility) has expunged all instances of a message from all mailboxes.

       In the first form, doveadm(1) will perform the purge action for the currently logged in user.

       In the second form, the command will be executed for all users

       In the last form, only messages of the given user(s) will be purged.

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.
