Re: Can you "doveadm search" with mailbox location instead of a user (-u option)?

You can use:

doveadm -o mail=maildir:/srv/mailboxes/example.com/mailbox123 search new

You don't actually have to use the -u parameter, although doveadm may be using the wrong UID/GID/home then.

Awesome. Maybe the usage output

# /opt/dovecot/bin/doveadm search doveadm search [-u <user>|-A] [-S <socket_path>] <search query>

should then not tell the user that "-u" needs to be given or better explain that "-o mail=" is also a valid way to define which mailbox.

Thanks again Timo for one versatile piece of good software!
