DESCRIPTION
This command is used to manipulate flags of messages.
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.
