I'm starting to think about building a more generic mailutil tool, maybe something similar to what UW-IMAP has. So two questions:
- What should the tool be called? Probably not mailutil to avoid confusion. doveutil? dovemail? dovetool? mailtool?
Postfix has postconf for configuration issues, postqueue for queue management and postsuper to execute superuser commands.
doveconf? dovequeue? dovesuper? dovestore for storage (mbox, maildir, dbox, ...) handling?
I like this idea, and had suggested a while back to change the 'dovecot -n' command to 'doveconf -n' to mirror the way postfix does this kind of thing. It makes sense, and why reinvent the wheel when there's already a model that works.
- Is there any functionality you'd like it to do?
- Create mbox|maildir|dbox mailboxes
- Report mailbox size, number of messages, min.|avg.|max. message size
- Be able to go through an *existing*, maybe even very large, mailstore and 'de-duplicate' the entire mail store - once 'Single Instance Storage' is supported of course.
