NAME

       doveadm-save - Save email to a user's mailbox

SYNOPSIS

       doveadm [-Dv] save [-S socket_path] -u user [-m mailbox] [mail-file]
       doveadm [-Dv] save [-S socket_path] -A [-m mailbox] [mail-file]
       doveadm [-Dv] [-f formatter] save [-S socket_path] -F file [-m mailbox] [mail-file]

DESCRIPTION

       doveadm  save  can  be used to save messages. This can be useful for scripts and for debugging.  Sieve is
       not invoked for saved messages, but quota is enforced.

OPTIONS

       Global doveadm(1) options:

       -D     Enables verbosity and debug messages.

       -o setting=value
              Overrides the configuration setting from /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf and from the  userdb  with  the
              given  value.   In  order  to  override multiple settings, the -o option may be specified 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   iterate_query   setting   in
              /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext  matches  your  database  layout.   When  using  the LDAP userdb
              module, make sure that the iterate_attrs  and  iterate_filter  settings  in  /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 similar 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 environment of the currently logged in user.

       -m mailbox
              Store mail to specified mailbox instead of INBOX.

EXAMPLE

       echo "hello, world" | doveadm save -u testuser@testdomain
