on age or size
SYNOPSISipurge [ -f ] [ -C config-file ] [ -x ] [ -s ]
[ -d days | -b bytes | -k Kbytes | -m Mbytes ]
[ mailbox-pattern... ]
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.
OPTIONS-f Force deletion of mail in all mailboxes.
-C config-file
Read configuration options from config-file.
-d days
Age of message in days.
-b bytes
Size of message in bytes.
-k Kbytes
Size of message in Kbytes (2^10 bytes).
-m Mbytes
Size of message in Mbytes (2^20 bytes).
-x Perform an exact match on age or size (instead of
older or larger).
-s Skip over messages that have the \Flagged flag set.
