CLI move all emails to subfolder

[sheshman]

Hi,

Using "Release 8.7.10.GA.1829.UBUNTU16.64 UBUNTU16_64 FOSS edition", we can move specific mails to subfolder with;

Code: Select all

zmmailbox -z -m user@domain.com moveMessage 2885 /INBOX/Testing

As you can see in code 2885 is mail id and it moves one mail only, i was wondering is it possible to move all mails to a sub folder with single command, i've tried " *, -1, %" instead of mail id but didn't worked.

The best way to move more than one message at once is within the user web client.
The move message option is a single instance and requires the message id of each message. If you need to move a significant number of messages within the command line, you can script the move by first obtaining the message IDs using the search command like:

zmmailbox -z -m user@domain s -t message “/Inbox" -l 1000

Then loop the moveMessage request with each message ID.

echo "$folder klasörü oluşturuluyor..."
zmmailbox -z -m "$email" cf "$folder"
echo "INBOX içerisindeki iletiler $folder klasörüne taşınıyor..."
function moveMail {
    total=$(zmmailbox -z -m "$email" s -l 999 -t message "in:inbox" | grep mess | wc -l)
    append=0
    percent=$(echo "scale=2 ; $append / $total * 100" | bc)
    for msgid in `zmmailbox -z -m "$email" s -l 999 -t message "in:inbox" | grep mess | awk '{print $2}'`; do
        zmmailbox -z -m "$email" mm $msgid "$folder";
        append=$((append+1))
        percent=$(echo "scale=2 ; $append / $total * 100" | bc)
        echo $percent | pv -qL 40
    done;
}
