[Dovecot] changing flags automatically

[Lutz Preßler]

Hello,

(2.2:) there is no doveadm subcommand to change flags of messages, is it?

The following should work reliably?

# mark messages with subject $SUBJECT in mailbox $MAILBOX of user $USERID as 
read
( i=2
  echo "1 SELECT "$MAILBOX
  doveadm search -u $USERID mailbox $MAILBOX subject "$SUBJECT" \
  | while read g u
  do  
    echo $i" UID STORE "$u" flags (\Seen)"
    i=$((i+1));
  done
  echo "0 LOGOUT"
) | /usr/lib/dovecot/imap -u $USERID

Greetings,
  Lutz
