I’d like to know if there is a way to tell dovecot to
- move messages older than # days to the Archive folder
- rebuild the indexes
- remove any folders that are left with no mail
Preferably, I’d like this to be a action I an schedule via crontab or something to fire off for any users that want it. So, I do not want it to do this across all users and mailboxes.

I don’t see anything in doveadm move that supports the age of the message. at least according to doveadm-move (and buy, that was fun o find since it is not mentioned anywhere in man doveadm unless you notice the (1) might indicate a man page!) it only supports dates, which makes simply doing this in a crontab (or something similarly straightforward) more problematic since I would have to generate a date string.
Ah, wait, I just found the DATE SPECIFICATION section of doveadm-search-query.
Nothing quite like having three man pages to get useful information on one command.
Thanks for the forcing me to look again though.
doveadm move -u jane Archive mailbox INBOX BEFORE 30d
And then I have to do that for all folders one at a time, yes?
Hi List
We use this for archiving, through cronjob, https://gist.github.com/pkern/3730543 Works prety fine.
