<h2>DESCRIPTION
<a name="DESCRIPTION"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><i>Ipurge</i>
deletes messages from the mailbox(es) specified by
<i>mailbox-pattern</i> that are older or larger than
specified by the <b>-d</b>, <b>-b</b>, <b>-k</b> or
<b>-m</b> options. If no <i>mailbox-pattern</i> is given,
<i>ipurge</i> works on all mailboxes. If the <b>-x</b>
option is given, the message age and size MUST match exactly
those specified by <b>-d</b>, <b>-b</b>, <b>-k</b> or
<b>-m</b>. The are no default values, and at least one of
<b>-d</b>, <b>-b</b>, <b>-k</b> or <b>-m</b> MUST be
specified.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><i>Ipurge</i>
by default only deletes mail below shared folders, which
means that mails in mailbox(es) below INBOX.* and user.*
stay untouched. Use the option <b>-f</b> to also delete mail
in mailbox(es) below these folders.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><i>Ipurge</i>
reads its configuration options out of the
<i>imapd.conf</i>(5) file unless specified otherwise by
<b>-C</b>.</p>
