Create folder for all accounts

[tiarra]

WE use external auth for all our zimbra accounts.. Can admin create a folder for all accounts.
We have mails to be send to all users (mail size is big) which r of not much significance & need to be removed. So can i have only these mail send to that spcific folder created.

Yes admin can create using :

zmmailbox -z -m accountname

cf folder name ( create folder) can be run after that to create folder.

This can be run in script for all users.

Dear Uxbod..
Were you able to knock up a script for my query..
Thanks in ADVANCE.

Atleast based on COS can it be done?

this should work but i havn't tested it just threw it together

run as zimbra user

#!/bin/bash
for i in `zmprov gaa`
do
zmmailbox -z -m $i cf <foldername>
done

of course replace <foldername> with the name of the folder you want to create for all accounts.

When I try this script, the wrong information is being stored in i. It is storing zmprov gaa as the variable and not what zmprov is returning.

Make sure you're using the backticks (key to the left of number one on a US keyboard at least) and not apostrophes. Some terminals don't copy/paste those symbols very well.
