# ayatana-webmail-clear(1)

Webmail Integration into your Desktop

## NAME

ayatana-webmail-clear - Webmail Integration into your Desktop

## SYNOPSIS

**ayatana-webmail-clear**  \[ *options* \]

## DESCRIPTION

Ayatana Webmail is an application that integrates your webmail into MATE, Xfce, LXDE and other environments. For further details see the [**ayatana-webmail**(1)](/ayatana-webmail/1.md) man page.

The **ayatana-webmail-clear** executable is an internal tool of **ayatana-webmail**, does not have any command line options and should only be used from the command line, if you know what you are doing.

**ayatana-webmail-clear** is called internally by the **ayatana-webmail** app to perform the "Mark all as read" action just as the "Clear" menu item would do in the "messages" indicator. The message status update on the IMAP server does not happen immediately, but only the next time the IMAP server checks in (usually within 10-20 minutes).
