DESCRIPTION
Ipurge deletes messages from the mailbox(es) specified by
mailbox-pattern that are older or larger than specified by the
-d,
-b,
-k or
-m options. If no
mailbox-pattern is given,
ipurge works on all mailboxes. If the
-x option is given, the message age and size MUST match exactly
those specified by
-d,
-b,
-k or
-m. The are
no default values, and at least one of
-d,
-b,
-k or
-m MUST be specified.
Ipurge by default only deletes mail below shared folders, which means that mails
in mailbox(es) below INBOX.* and user.* stay untouched. Use the option
-f to also delete mail in mailbox(es) below these folders.
Ipurge reads its configuration options out of the
imapd.conf(5)
file unless specified otherwise by -C.
