PROGRAM:
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] -F file 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] -F file 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, doveadm(1) will iterate over all users, found in the given file, and
move or copy each user's messages, matching the given search_query, into the user's
destination mailbox.
In the fourth form, matching mails will be moved or copied only for given user(s).
OPTIONS
Global doveadm(1) options:
-D Enables verbosity and debug messages.
-o setting=value
Overrides the configuration setting from /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf and from the
userdb with the given value. In order to override multiple settings, the -o option
may be specified multiple times.
-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 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. Otherwise doveadm(1)
will be unable to iterate over all users.
-F file
Execute the command for all the users in the file. This is similar to the -A
option, but instead of getting the list of users from the userdb, they are read
from the given file. The file contains one username per line.
-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 the -F file option, nor the -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
