Re: unexpunge functionality without delayed expunge enabled

[Sachin Divekar <ssd532@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Bron,

Thanks for your input. 

I was able to achieve it using following IMAP command.

uid store start-id:end-id -flags.silent (\deleted)

As you mentioned now I am exploring Perl's IMAPClient module

to do it recusively. I will post the solution after completion.

Just for more info: Meanwhile I had opened a question

on serverfault where I got some help too.

With IMAP:

 

tag STORE 1:* -flags \Deleted

 

You'll have to do it on every folder though... the kind of thing scripting is handy for!

Dear guys,

 

I have a 5GB mailbox which I moved using imapsync. But somehow I

messed up with --delete option and end up with almost all the messages

having \Deleted flag set. I do not have delayed expunge enabled, so

I can not use unexpunge utility.  I am using cyrus-imapd v2.3.7.

 

Is there any way I can unset \Deleted flag for all the mails in the mailbox?

 

Thank you.
