DOVEADM-PURGE(1)		    Dovecot		      DOVEADM-PURGE(1)

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 ref‐
       count=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 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.
