<![CDATA[Automatically Clean Emails]]>Hello

I would like to empty my mailboxes.

Is there a way to automatically remove old emails ? If not is there a way to manually remove all the emails easily ?

I have 100+ mailboxes so complicated to connect to each one to empty every month

Thanks

Tristan

docker exec -ti mail doveadm -D expunge  -u mail@domain.com mailbox Sent savedbefore 1w

The above deletes all mails in the Sent folder that were saved more than 1 week ago.

See https://doc.dovecot.org/3.0/man/doveadm-expunge.1/ and https://doc.dovecot.org/3.0/man/doveadm-search-query.7/#man-7-doveadm-search-query
