Re: [Dovecot] purge maildir folder after sa-learn

Hello everyone,

thanks for the fast replies, much appreciated!

I am looking for a command-line utility to automatically purge one Maildir folder.

How about just:

rm -f /path/to/Maildir/.spam-learn/*

With v2.0 you can also do:

doveadm expunge -u username mailbox spam-learn all

I run 1.x, so doeveadm doesn't exist. :-) Can I simply delete the files, don't I destroy any indices or slow down Dovecot operation because of index rebuilding? Sounds like a simple solution I also thought of, but I was hesitant of just deleting the files...

Thanks, Florian
