NAME¶
doveadm-force-resync - Repair broken mailboxes
SYNOPSIS¶
doveadm [
-Dv]
force-resync [
-S socket_path]
mailbox
doveadm [
-Dv]
force-resync [
-S socket_path]
-A mailbox
doveadm [
-Dv]
force-resync [
-S socket_path]
-u user mailbox
DESCRIPTION¶
Under certain circumstances it may happen, that
dovecot(1) is unable to
automatically solve problems with mailboxes. In such situations the
force-resync command may be helpful. It tries to fix all problems. For
sdbox and mdbox mailboxes the storage files will be also checked.
OPTIONS¶
Global
doveadm(1) options:
- -D
- Enables verbosity and debug messages.
- -v
- Enables verbosity, including progress counter.
Command specific
options:
- -A
- If the -A option is present, the command will be performed
for all users. Using this option in combination with system users from
userdb { driver = passwd } is not recommended, because it contains
also users with a lower UID than the one configured with the
first_valid_uid setting.
When the SQL userdb module is used make sure that the iterate_query
setting in /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext matches your database
layout. When using the LDAP userdb module, make sure that the
iterate_attrs and iterate_filter settings in
/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext match your LDAP schema.
Otherwise doveadm(1) will be unable to iterate over all users.
- -S socket_path
- The option's argument is either an absolute path to a local UNIX domain
socket, or a hostname and port (hostname:port), in order to
connect a remote host via a TCP socket.
This allows an administrator to execute doveadm(1) mail commands
through the given socket.
- -u user/mask
- Run the command only for the given user. It's also possible
to use '*' and '?' wildcards (e.g. -u *@example.org).
When neither the -A option nor -u user was
specified, the command will be executed with the environment of the
currently logged in user.
ARGUMENTS¶
- mailbox
- The name of the mailbox to fix. With mdbox all of the mailboxes are fixed,
so you can use for example INBOX as the name.
EXAMPLE¶
Fix bob's INBOX:
doveadm force-resync -u bob INBOX
