I don’t see anything in doveadm move that supports the age of the message. at least according to doveadm-move (and buy, that was fun o find since it is not mentioned anywhere in man doveadm unless you notice the (1) might indicate a man page!) it only supports dates, which makes simply doing this in a crontab (or something similarly straightforward) more problematic since I would have to generate a date string. Ah, wait, I just found the DATE SPECIFICATION section of doveadm-search-query. Nothing quite like having three man pages to get useful information on one command. Thanks for the forcing me to look again though. doveadm move -u jane Archive mailbox INBOX BEFORE 30d And then I have to do that for all folders one at a time, yes?
