doveadm-mailbox
DOVEADM-MAILBOX(1) Dovecot DOVEADM-MAILBOX(1)
NAME
doveadm-mailbox - Commands related to handling mailboxes
SYNOPSIS
doveadm [-Dv] [-f formatter] mailbox_cmd [options] [arguments]
DESCRIPTION
doveadm mailbox can be used to query and modify mailboxes.
OPTIONS
Global doveadm(1) options:
-D Enables verbosity and debug messages.
-f formatter
Specifies the formatter for formatting the output. Supported formatters are:
flow prints each line with key=value pairs.
pager prints each key: value pair on its own line and separates records with form feed character (^L).
tab prints a table header followed by tab separated value lines.
table prints a table header followed by adjusted value lines.
-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
Is the name of a mailbox, as visible to IMAP clients, except in UTF-8 format. The hierarchy separator between a parent and child
mailbox is commonly '/' or '.', but this depends on your selected mailbox storage format and namespace configuration. The mailbox
names may also require a namespace prefix.
COMMANDS
mailbox create
doveadm mailbox create [-A|-u user] [-S socket_path] [-g guid] [-s] mailbox ...
This command is used to create one or more mailboxes. The mailbox format of the created mailboxes depends on the mail_location setting, or
the user's mail field, returned by the userdb.
-g guid
Create the mailbox with the specified GUID.
-s When this option was given, the created mailboxes will be also added to the user's subscriptions.
mailbox delete
doveadm mailbox delete [-A|-u user] [-S socket_path] [-s] mailbox ...
This command deletes a mailbox and expunges all the messages it contains. If the mailbox has any children, they won't be deleted.
When the -s option is present, the deleted mailboxes will be also unsubscribed.
mailbox list
doveadm mailbox list [-7|-8] [-A|-u user] [-S socket_path] [-s] [mailbox ...]
To get an overview of existing mailboxes use this command. It's also possible to use wildcards in the mailbox name.
When the -s option is present, only subscribed mailboxes will be listed. Listed subscriptions may also contain mailboxes that are already
deleted.
-7 Lists the mailboxes with mUTF-7 encoding.
-8 Lists the mailboxes with UTF-8 encoding.
mailbox mutf7
doveadm mailbox mutf7 [-7|-8] name ...
The mailbox mutf7 command may be used to convert the international mailbox name into a modified version of the UTF-7 encoding and vice
versa. See RFC 3501, section 5.1.3 (Mailbox International Naming Convention).
-7 Indicates that the name's string representation is mUTF-7 encoded and it should be converted to UTF-8.
-8 Indicates that the name's is UTF-8 encoded and should be converted to mUTF-7 (default).
name One or more mailbox names that should be converted.
mailbox rename
doveadm mailbox rename [-A|-u user] [-S socket_path] [-s] old_name new_name
The mailbox rename command is used to rename the mailbox old_name to new_name.
When the -s option is given, old_name will be unsubscribed and new_name will be subscribed.
mailbox status
doveadm [-f formatter] mailbox status [-A|-u user] [-S socket_path] [-t] fields mailbox ...
Show the status of one or more mailboxes. The mailbox name may also contain wildcards.
This command uses by default the output formatter flow.
-t Summarize the values of the status fields messages, recent, unseen and/or vsize of multiple mailboxes to a sum (total).
fields Specify the status fields which should be shown. In order to specify multiple status fields, enclosed them in quotes.
all This is a special status field name. It means show all of the following fields. When the -t option is present, it means
show only the messages, recent, unseen and vsize fields.
guid The mailbox's globally unique identifier.

messages
The number of messages in the mailbox.
recent The number of messages with the Recent flag set.
uidnext

uidvalidity
The unique identifier validity value.
unseen The message sequence number of the first unseen message in the mailbox.
vsize The mailbox's virtual size, computed with CRLF line terminators.
