Hello Samuel, with mdbox as Maildir no direct file operations should beperforms. For empty mailboxes that will ever happen, the "doveadm mailbox delete" deletes the emails, if required in the mailbox. Hardy Am 21.03.2015 um 11:48 schrieb Samuel Williams:> Thanks Hardy.

Hi Hardy, I had over 1600 folders, writing manually doveadm mailbox delete would be a real pain. I guess I could script it but that's even more of a pain. It would be nice if there was a command to remove empty mailboxes or something similar.
