       search_query
       doveadm [-Dv] [-f formatter] fetch  [-S	socket_path]  -F  file	fields
       search_query
       doveadm	[-Dv]  [-f  formatter]	fetch  [-S socket_path]	-u user	fields
       search_query

DESCRIPTION
       doveadm fetch can be used to fetch  messages'  contents	and  metadata.
       This  can be useful for scripts and for debugging. If you want to fetch
       messages	one at a time, see doveadm-search(1).

       Important:
	      Please respect your users' privacy.

OPTIONS
       Global doveadm(1) options:

       -D     Enables verbosity	and debug messages.

       -f formatter
	      Specifies	the formatter for formatting  the  output.   Supported
	      formatters are:

	      flow   prints each line with key=value pairs.

	      pager  prints each key: value pair on its	own line and separates
		     records with form feed character (^L).

	      tab    prints  a	table  header  followed	by tab separated value
		     lines.

	      table  prints a table header followed by adjusted	value lines.

       -o setting=value
	      Overrides	the configuration  setting  from  /usr/local/etc/dove-
	      cot/dovecot.conf	and  from the userdb with the given value.  In
	      order to override	multiple settings, the -o option may be	speci-
	      fied multiple times.

       -v     Enables verbosity, including progress counter.

       This command uses by default the	output formatter pager.

       Command specific	options:

       -A     If the -A	option is present, the command will be	performed  for
	      all  users.   Using this option in combination with system users
	      from userdb { driver = passwd } is not recommended,  because  it
	      contains	also  users  with  a lower UID than the	one configured
	      with the first_valid_uid setting.

	      When the SQL userdb module is used  make	sure  that  the	 iter-
	      ate_query	setting	in /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext
	      matches  your  database layout.  When using the LDAP userdb mod-
	      ule, make	sure that the iterate_attrs  and  iterate_filter  set-
	      tings in /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext match your
	      LDAP  schema.   Otherwise	 doveadm(1)  will be unable to iterate
	      over all users.

       -F file
	      Execute the command for all the users in the file.  This is sim-
	      ilar to the -A option, but instead of getting the	list of	 users
	      from  the	 userdb,  they are read	from the given file.  The file
	      contains one username per	line.

       -S socket_path
	      The option's argument is either an absolute path to a local UNIX
	      domain socket, or	a hostname and port (hostname:port), in	 order
	      to connect a remote host via a TCP socket.

	      This allows an administrator to execute doveadm(1) mail commands
	      through the given	socket.

       -u user/mask
	      Run  the command only for	the given user.	 It's also possible to
	      use '*' and '?' wildcards	(e.g. -u *@example.org).
	      When neither the -A option, nor  the  -F file  option,  nor  the
	      -u user was specified, the command will be executed with the en-
	      vironment	of the currently logged	in user.

ARGUMENTS

EXAMPLE
       This example based on the first example from doveadm-search(1).	We are
       fetching	the fields mailbox and date.sent from user bob's mailbox  with
       the  guid  "3a94c928d66ebe4bda04000015811c6a" for the messages with the
       UIDs 8, 25 and 45.

       doveadm fetch -u	bob "mailbox date.sent"	\
       mailbox-guid 3a94c928d66ebe4bda04000015811c6a uid 8,25,45
       mailbox:	dovecot/pigeonhole/2.0
       date.sent: 2010-01-19 01:17:41 (+0100)
       ^L
       mailbox:	dovecot/pigeonhole/2.0
       date.sent: 2010-01-28 09:38:49 (+0100)
       ^L
       mailbox:	dovecot/pigeonhole/2.0
       date.sent: 2010-03-28 18:41:14 (+0200)
