Not sure if anyone will find this useful, but this is how I deleted a
bunch (several hundred) of empty mail folders from a user account:
# doveadm mailbox status -u ?u...@example.com" messages "*" ALL | grep "=0" | awk -F=
'{print $1}' | awk '{print "rm -rf ."$1}' > list
...
I probably could do some research on how to combine those two awk pipes
but this worked, and it was fast.
You can collapse all 3 downstream processes
doveadm ... | awk '/messages=0$/{print "rm -rf ./" substr($1,9}' >list
Needs shell escaping/sanitizing if you don't want to be the victim
of mischief (e.g. maildir='X;cd ..;rm -rf *').
