dovecot - Jun 2014 - Remove all messages in a mailbox

Hi All,

I am having trouble removing all messages in a mailbox.?? The
command below doesn't remove all the messages:

doveadm expunge -u user at domain mailbox? '*' all

Do I need to add .* or other?

THanks

Murray

Hi,

we use namespace with prefix = INBOX.
When we need to remove all messages in mailbox we need to run this
commands:
doveadm expunge -u user at domain mailbox INBOX ALL
doveadm expunge -u user at domain mailbox INBOX.* ALL

The first remove mailboxes in inbox and the second in other subfolders.

And in case you use dbox format:
doveadm purge -u user at domain
