DOVEADM-ALTMOVE(1)		    Dovecot		    DOVEADM-ALTMOVE(1)

NAME
       doveadm-altmove	-  Move	 matching  mails  to  the  alternative storage
       (dbox-only)

SYNOPSIS
       doveadm [-Dv] altmove [-S socket_path] search_query
       doveadm [-Dv] altmove [-S socket_path] -A search_query
       doveadm [-Dv] altmove [-S socket_path] -u user search_query

DESCRIPTION
       This command can be used with sdbox or mdbox storage to move  mails  to
       alternative  storage  path  when	 :ALT=<path> is specified for the mail
       location.

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

       In the second form, the command will be performed for all users.

       In  the	third  form,  only matching mails of the given user(s) will be
       moved to the alternative storage.

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	 iter‐
	      ate_query	 setting  in /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext matches
	      your database layout.  When using the LDAP userdb	 module,  make
	      sure  that  the  iterate_attrs  and  iterate_filter  settings in
	      /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext match your LDAP schema.  Oth‐
	      erwise 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 com‐
	      mand will be executed with  the  environment  of	the  currently
	      logged in user.

ARGUMENTS
       search_query
	      Messages	matching  this search query will be moved to alt stor‐
	      age.  See doveadm-search-query(7) for details.

FILES
       /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf
	      Mailbox locations and namespaces.

       /etc/dovecot/conf.d/auth-*.conf.ext
	      Authentication processes, including userdb settings.

EXAMPLE
       This example moves seen mails older than one week to alternative	 stor‐
       age under /nfsmount:
       mail_location = mdbox:~/mdbox:ALT=/nfsmount/%h/mdbox

       doveadm altmove -u johnd@example.com seen savedbefore 1w
