DESCRIPTION
The rebuild attachments command is used to rebuilds attachment pres-
ence. doveadm(1) will print the message's uid for each match.
When used with the -A or -u wildcard options, doveadm(1) will print the
fields username and uid for each matching message.
In the first form, doveadm(1) will execute the rebuild action with the
environment of the logged in system user.
In the second form, the command will be performed for all users.
In the third form, the command will be performed for all users listed
in the given file.
In the fourth form, only matching mails of the given user(s) will be
rebuilded
OPTIONS
Global doveadm(1) options:
-D Enables verbosity and debug messages.
-f formatter
Specifies the formatter for formatting the output. Supported
formatters are:
flow prints each line with key=value pairs.
pager prints each key: value pair on its own line and separates
records with form feed character (^L).
tab prints a table header followed by tab separated value
lines.
table prints a table header followed by adjusted value lines.
-o setting=value
Overrides the configuration setting from /etc/dovecot/dove-
cot.conf and from the userdb with the given value. In order to
override multiple settings, the -o option may be specified mul-
tiple times.
-v Enables verbosity, including progress counter.
This command uses by default the output formatter flow (without the
key= prefix).
Command specific options:
-A If the -A option is present, the command will be performed for
all users. Using this option in combination with system users
from userdb { driver = passwd } is not recommended, because it
contains also users with a lower UID than the one configured
with the first_valid_uid setting.
When the SQL userdb module is used make sure that the iter-
ate_query setting in /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext matches
your database layout. When using the LDAP userdb module, make
sure that the iterate_attrs and iterate_filter settings in
/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext match your LDAP schema. Oth-
erwise doveadm(1) will be unable to iterate over all users.
-F file
Execute the command for all the users in the file. This is sim-
ilar to the -A option, but instead of getting the list of users
from the userdb, they are read from the given file. The file
contains one username per line.
-S socket_path
The option's argument is either an absolute path to a local UNIX
domain socket, or a hostname and port (hostname:port), in order
to connect a remote host via a TCP socket.
This allows an administrator to execute doveadm(1) mail commands
through the given socket.
-u user/mask
Run the command only for the given user. It's also possible to
use '*' and '?' wildcards (e.g. -u *@example.org).
When neither the -A option, nor the -F file option, nor the
-u user was specified, the command will be executed with the
environment of the currently logged in user.
ARGUMENTS
search_query
Resets attachment indicator for messages matching this search
query. See doveadm-search-query(7) for details.
EXAMPLE
