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

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

       doveadm [-Dv] copy  [-S	socket_path]  destination  [user  source_user]
       search_query
       doveadm	[-Dv]  copy [-S socket_path] -A destination [user source_user]
       search_query
       doveadm	[-Dv]  copy  [-S  socket_path]	-u  user   destination	 [user
       source_user] 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.
       doveadm	copy behaves the same as doveadm move, except that copied mes‐
       sages will not be expunged after copying.

       In the first form, doveadm(1) will execute the  move/copy  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  or	 copy  each  user's  messages,
       matching the given search_query, into the user's destination mailbox.

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

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
       destination
	      The name of the destination mailbox, into which the mails should
	      be moved or copied.  The destination mailbox must exist,	other‐
	      wise this command will fail.

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

       user source_user
	      The keyword user followed by a valid user name.  When this argu‐
	      ment  is	present, doveadm(1) will apply the search_query to the
	      source_user's mail_location.
	      Limitation: Currently the users, specified by -u user  and  user
	      source_user, must share the same UID and GID.

EXAMPLE
       Move jane's messages - received in September 2011 - from her INBOX into
       her archive.

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