[SOLVED] How can I empty an entire inbox?

[Chodid]

Thanks for that quick reply - but now when I try to run the command the output I get is

/opt/zimbra/bin/zmshutil: line 39: Error: command not found
Error: executing: /opt/zimbra/bin/zmlocalconfig -q -m export

do you know what went wrong?

Thanks

Why are you running zmlocalconfig and not zmmailbox ?

[Chodid]

I am running zmmailbox, thats the whole action:

root@srv2050:~# su zimbra
zimbra@srv2050:/root$ zmmailbox -z -m account@domain.tld emtpyFolder /Inbox
/opt/zimbra/bin/zmshutil: line 39: Error: command not found
Error: executing: /opt/zimbra/bin/zmlocalconfig -q -m export
zimbra@srv2050:/root$

[uxbod]

su - zimbra

if you do not specify the dash in between then in will not source in zimbras profile and paths.

[Chodid]

root@srv2050:~# su - zimbra
zimbra@srv2050:~$ zmmailbox -z -m account@domain.tld emptyFolder /Inbox
/opt/zimbra/bin/zmshutil: line 39: Error: command not found
Error: executing: /opt/zimbra/bin/zmlocalconfig -q -m export
zimbra@srv2050:~$

Still the same problem. I read around a little, from what it seems like the zmlocalconfig -q -m export problem seems to coincide with a wrong DNS setup, could that be the case here too?

[uxbod]

I would have though not TBH ... Always worth checking your DNS so

cat /etc/hosts
cat /etc/resolv.conf
dig yourdomain mx
dig yourdomain any
host `hostname` <- note backticks and not single quotes (copy 'n' paste)
ls -l /opt/zimbra/bin/zmlocalconfig
ls -l /opt/zimbra/bin/zmshutil

cat /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1 localhost
95.129.49.*** srv2050.provider.tld

cat /etc/resolv.conf

nameserver 95.129.49.***

dig yourdomain mx

ls -l /opt/zimbra/bin/zmlocalconfig

Thanks for all the really quick answers so far. I hope it's ok that I changed the domains and IP adresses but if its necessary for me to post the whole thing then tell me

Best regards

/etc/hosts is not correct; it should be

127.0.0.1           localhost.localdomain localhost
95.129.49.*** srv2050.provider.tld srv2050

and the MX record should point to srv2050.provider.tld.

[Chodid]

Thanks so much for your help, now it suddenly works

Is there a similar command to move the contents of an entire folder into another folder?

Best regards
