DOVEADM-MOVE(1)			    Dovecot		       DOVEADM-MOVE(1)

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.

       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.   The	destination mailbox must exist, otherwise this
	      command will fail.

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

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
