[SOLVED] Mass delete calendar entries

[achow]

Hi,

Can zimbra 3.1.3 do mass delete calendar entries?

For a given user, you can send the server a request to empty the Calendar folder. Would that do what you want?

This sounds great, but is it implemented yet? If so, where can we find directions on how to do this? (Outlook Importer errored out while importing several thousand calendar entries and each retry resulted in multiple duplicates)

Using v 4.0.3

be *very* careful, as this will delete any items and sub-folders under a directory:

 /opt/zimbra/bin/zmprov 
prov> sm user1@macpro.local
mailbox: user1@macpro.local, size: 7.39 MB, messages: 296, unread: 242
mbox user1@macpro.local> emptyFolder /contacts

Replace "sm user1@macpro.local" with "sm {account-you-want-to-use}".

You can also do this all on the command line if you want:

/opt/zimbra/bin/zmprov sm user1@macpro.local emptyFolder /contacts

Again, be very careful!

So for the main calendar folder that would be:

emptyFolder /calendar

?

Thanks

Oops, I read that as contacts. Yes, I think that should do it, but I've never tried it with a calendar folder.

I just tried it as I had a similar issue. Worked perfectly with the calendar.

and is there a way to wipe only old appointements (those that are 1 year old and more for example ?)

You'd probably have to do a search via zmmailbox, then use zmmailbox to delete the results of the search by ID.

Perfect! Just what I was needing for one of my users! Thanks!
