DOVEADM-SEARCH-QUERY(7)                      Dovecot                      DOVEADM-SEARCH-QUERY(7)



NAME
       doveadm-search-query - Overview of search queries for doveadm mailbox commands

DESCRIPTION
       Several  doveadm(1) commands use a search_query in order to act only on matching messages.
       This manual page describes all SEARCH KEYS, which can be used in a search_query.

       Each search_query consists at least of one SEARCH KEY.  Most of the SEARCH KEYS require an
       argument.   All SEARCH KEYS are case-insensitive.  The shortest valid search_query is ALL.
       For example:

              doveadm search ALL

       Multiple search query expressions will be combined with the AND operator by  default.   To
       find all messages that are new and greater than 50 kilobyte, one can use:

              doveadm search NEW LARGER 50k

       OR-ed  SEARCH  KEYS  have  to be written in parenthesis, when mixing ANDs and ORs.  Shells
       commonly require escaping for parentheses.  To find messages that were saved on the  "13th
       of April  2007" AND have the \Seen and/or \Flagged flag set, one can use for example:

              doveadm search SAVEDON 2007-04-13 \( SEEN OR FLAGGED \)

       It's  also  possible  to specify the mailbox, in which should be searched.  Use either the
       keyword mailbox and the name of the mailbox or the keyword mailbox-guid and the  mailbox's
       globally  unique identifier in the search_query.  To find all messages in the mailbox with
       the GUID "44f68b13ce97044b837f000035ca9452" use:

              doveadm search mailbox-guid 44f68b13ce97044b837f000035ca9452 ALL

       To list all deleted messages in the "Trash" folder use:

              doveadm search mailbox Trash DELETED
