I am looking for a command-line utility to automatically purge one Maildir folder. I want to periodically run sa-learn from cron, and after the spam learning folder has been added to the Bayes database, its contents should be deleted. I've searched a bit, but only found a few old utilities or some telnet+expect scripts, which both didn't look too reliable.
Is there any command-line utility to delete all contents of a Maildir folder, or is there any other solution?
Have you considered fetching from dovecot (maildir) to mbox file and learning from mbox file? a) fetchmail CAN use .../dovecot/imap wrapper script in "plugin" option to read maildir directly [set environment variable MAIL to maildir:~/Maildir in the wrapper] b) fetchmail CAN use procmail in "mda" option to deliver directly to mbox
