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.
