While you could:

#!/bin/bash

for i in `zmprov gaa`
do
  echo $i
  zmprov ga $i | grep zimbraMailAlias
done

Combining gaa -v and grep can be very useful.

This will give you a list like gaa except just of aliases.

zmprov gaa -v | grep -e zimbraMailAlias | awk '{print$2}' > aliases.txt

However I gather you want to know who the aliases belong to:

 zmprov gaa -v | grep -e name -e zimbraMailAlias > allemails.txt

Combining grep and awk can arrange and spit out desired lines in the format of your choosing.

For instance this will put all your accounts in a csv format:

zmprov gaa | awk 'ORS=","' > accounts.csv

(Don't know what program you're exporting to but if it wants an extra space just do 'ORS=", "')

> location.file needs to be a place that the zimbra user can write to/or browse there first.


Another example

zmprov getAllAccounts -v |
    grep -e name -e zimbraMailAlias |
    awk '{
        if (/^# name/) {
            name=$3
        } else if (/^zimbraMailAlias/) {
            print $2 ": " name
        }
    }'

Still another:

#!/bin/bash

SEARCHSTRING="user@domain.tld"

for list in `zmprov gadl`
do
  results=`zmprov gdl $list | grep "Address" | cut -d " " -f 2 | grep "$SEARCHSTRING"`
  if [ ! -z $results ]
  then
    echo $list - $results
  fi
done

By COS, first get the cos id that you want:
zmprov gac -v | grep -e cn: -e zimbraId
or zmprov gc COSname

Then get all accounts with that COS:
zmprov gaa -v | grep -e uid: -e zimbraCOSId | grep -B1 putzimbraCOSidStringHERE | grep uid: | awk '{print $2}'

OR

zmprov gc <COSName> | grep zimbraId
zmprov sa zimbraCOSId=string

or zmprov sa zimbraCOSId=string > file.txt

(viewing-most likely in columns) Bug 18779 - Sorting User Accounts by COS.
(command line viewing) Bug 16185 - RFE: Get all COS users
(gui) Bug 3373 - bulk move of users from one COS to another
Bug 14266 - Extend search among users to COS

Admin console - first open the COS and copy where it says "ID: string"
Then type the following in the admin console search bar:
(zimbraCOSID=string)

There's also this bug: Bug 29763 - Missing zimbraCOSId when set to auto
-create domain.com assign it COS1
-create test@domain.com cos set to auto > doesn't show zimbraCOSId
-create test2@domain.com cos set to default > doesn't show zimbraCOSID
-create test3@domain.com cos set to COS1 > shows zimbraCOSId
-or someone said set the COS on the domain and it works

When creating accounts you should use:
zmprov gc <COSName> | grep zimbraId
zmprov ca name@domain.com <password> zimbraCOSId <zimbraIdNumberStringCOS>

SA is handy:

While:

zmprov sa -v zimbraCOSId=string | grep uid

Gives:
uid: username

And:

zmprov sa zimbraCOSId=string

Gives:
username@domain.com

But for:

zmprov sa zimbraCOSId=string attrs uid

It still gives you:
username@domain.com

And should have given:
username

zmprov sa -v zimbraCOSId=string attrs uid

With -v it's a huge list outputted to the console, however -v is supposed to be used there anyways so that it can dump attributes.

The command was never corrected/closed out as wontfix: Bug 12759 - zmprov searchAccounts does not return requested attrs
-I suppose if it doesn't work (though it would be useful) we should remove the [attrs {a1,a2...}] from the help
