DOVEADM-FLAGS(1)		    Dovecot		      DOVEADM-FLAGS(1)

NAME
       doveadm-flags - add, remove or replace messages'	flags

SYNOPSIS
       doveadm [-Dv] flags [-S socket_path] command flags search_query
       doveadm [-Dv] flags [-S socket_path] command flags search_query -A
       doveadm [-Dv] flags [-S socket_path] command flags search_query -F file
       doveadm [-Dv] flags [-S socket_path] command flags search_query -u user

DESCRIPTION
       This command is used to manipulate flags	of messages.

OPTIONS
       Global doveadm(1) options:

       -D     Enables verbosity	and debug messages.

       -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.

       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
       flags  Message flags as described in RFC	 3501,	section	 2.3.2	(Flags
	      Message  Attribute): \Answered, \Deleted,	\Draft,	\Flagged, \Re-
	      cent and \Seen.  And the	IMAP  keywords	$Forwarded,  $MDNSent,
	      $SubmitPending  and  $Submitted  or  user-defined	keywords, e.g.
	      Junk, $NonSpam or	$Label1.
	      One or multiple flags and/or keywords can	be specified.

       search_query
	      Manipulate the flags  of	messages  matching  the	 given	search
	      query.  See doveadm-search-query(7) for details.
