Removing a mailbox from a dovecot cluster
Hello,
How should I remove a mailbox from a dovecot cluster? I have two dovecot in a cluster. I tried to remove one user's mailbox with theses commands I found with a little google search:
doveadm flags add -u user@domain.tld "\\Deleted" ALL doveadm expunge -u user@domain.tld mailbox "*" DELETED doveadm purge -u user@domain.tld rm -fr /var/vmail/domains/domain.tld/user
If I do theses commands in a script (so one command after one, very quick), the data just keep coming back from the other server in the cluster (I suppose this is what's happening).
If I do theses commands manually, so more slowly, the mailbox is created again but empty this time. If I connect from an IMAP client, I see an empty mailbox. Same thing if I connect an IMAP client to the second server from the cluster. But I still see the data in the storage (mdbox) of the second server (the "m.#" files are still there an they waste space on disks). I tried to do a "doveadm purge" on the second server, but it did nothing more, the data is still keep on the disks.
I'm running dovecot 2.2.33.2 on ubuntu 18.04 on both servers.
Thanks!
