DOVEADM-DEDUPLICATE(1) Dovecot DOVEADM-DEDUPLICATE(1) NAME
doveadm-deduplicate - expunge duplicate messages SYNOPSIS
doveadm [-Dv] deduplicate [-u user|-A] [-S socket_path] [-m] search_query DESCRIPTION
This command is used to expunge duplicated messages in mailboxes. doveadm deduplicate is mainly useful to revert some (more or less) acci- dental duplication of messages, e.g. after doveadm copy or doveadm import. doveadm(1) will delete the newest duplicated messages from the mailbox and keep the oldest. Deduplication across multiple mailboxes is not supported. 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 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. -m if the -m option is given, doveadm(1) will deduplicate by Message-Id header. By default deduplication will be done by message GUIDs. -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
search_query expunge duplicates found from messages matching the given search query. Typically a search query like 'mailbox mailbox_name OR mailbox other_box' will be sufficient. See doveadm-search-query(7) for details. EXAMPLE
This example shows how to list and expunge duplicate messages from a mailbox. doveadm -f table fetch -u jane 'guid uid' mailbox a_Box | sort guid uid 8aad0f0a30169f4bea620000ca356bad 18751 8aad0f0a30169f4bea620000ca356bad 18756 923e301ab9219b4b4f440000ca356bad 18748 923e301ab9219b4b4f440000ca356bad 18753 ... doveadm deduplicate -u jane mailbox a_Box doveadm -f table fetch -u jane 'guid uid' mailbox a_Box | sort guid uid 8aad0f0a30169f4bea620000ca356bad 18751 923e301ab9219b4b4f440000ca356bad 18748 a7999e1530739c4bd26d0000ca356bad 18749 ...

DOVEADM-MOVE(1) Dovecot DOVEADM-MOVE(1) 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 messages 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.

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
destination The name of the destination mailbox, into which the mails should be moved or copied. The destination mailbox must exist, otherwise 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 argument 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 REPORTING BUGS
