delete a message in inbox

[padraig]

Hi All,

Is it possible to delete a message in a users inbox using a zmcommand
(i.e. not going into the users ac using the admin console) if u know the message id

TIA

Sure. If you have a Message-ID header of the form "<465B275C.3090106@isode.com>" or the like, use zmmailbox to get the corresponding zimbra item ID by doing a search for "msgid:465B275C.3090106@isode.com" (note that the angle brackets must be removed). Then use zmmailbox to hard-delete the item via the zmmailbox dm <zimbra-item-id> command.

thanks dkarp,
if i sent this message to a distribution list is it possible to remove it from a single users account only

Using zmmailbox to delete a message removes it only from that one mailbox.
