New page

==Objective==

Sometimes we need to remove mail from mail box in Qmail for/till date.
For example I have mail box containing 100G size.I want to remove all mails except leave last 10 days mails.

Just run a command with careful.

find /path/to/files* -mtime +5 -exec rm {} \;

'''find''' ------------> command

'''/path/to/files*''' -> path of your file

'''-mtime''' ---------> command

'''+5''' -------------> leave 5 day mails from current date & remove rest of the mails

'''rm {} \;''' -------> files remove command.
