Hi - I wonder if anyone could help me work out the correct syntax to run doveadm deduplicate on a mailbox on a cpanel server. I've read the documentation but I'm embarrassed to say that I can't work it out. The examples show a "user" and a "mailbox" but I can't see how that applies to the cpanel directory strcture since a mailbox is a folder within a folder that is a domain name. If you've done this before and can spare a minute to provide the details I'd appreciate it.

  Some samples. doveadm deduplicate -u email@address.com -m mailbox "INBOX" doveadm deduplicate -u email@address.com -m mailbox "INBOX.spam"

  Also, to add -m is for "doveadm will deduplicate by Message-Id header. By default deduplication will be done by message GUIDs" so your need may vary there. You can also do a "man doveadm-deduplicate" for more info.
