I have been trying to update my Postix/Dovecot/MySQL?Postfixadmin installation
I am currently on Dovecot. 2.3.2.1
I used the guide set forth in Purplehat.org http://purplehat.org/ which is what got me in trouble as I am in between with setup. (He went off to Maria-db and NGINX I stayed with Apache and MySQL
What has happened is may Dovecot Mailboxes are super super saturated. adI inadvertently allowed email from an alarm
Quota name Type Value Limit % User quota STORAGE 239754 5120 4682 User quota MESSAGE 882 -
I tried to empty with the command sudo doveadm expunge -A mailbox INBOX ALL
I get this error
Error: auth-master: userdb list: User listing returned failure doveadm: Error: Failed to iterate through some users.
Is there anyway I can remove Dovecot from my server and reinstalll it? It is so messed up I don’t care about losing data
