Hi there, i love the iRedMail product and tried now to automate some stuff via scripts! I found these scripts on Github (https://github.com/jeekkd/iRedMail-scripts), but there are no scripts or commands for cleaning all email in an user account, or to delete and recreate a user from scratch.

I also found this here but was not able to get it running, looks like it not supported anymore --> https://github.com/drlogout/iredmail-cli

Does someone has a tip for me? How can i delete all email from an account?

Thanks for any help!!

Re: Delete all emails from mail account

- Use "doveadm" command with its sub-command "expunge" to delete messages:

- With iRedAdmin-Pro and its RESTful API, you can use tool like `curl` to delete / create accounts.
