# feed2imap-cleaner(1)

Removes old items from IMAP folders

## NAME

feed2imap-cleaner - Removes old items from IMAP folders

## SYNOPSIS

**feed2imap-cleaner** \[OPTIONS\]

## DESCRIPTION

feed2imap-cleaner deletes old items from IMAP folders specified in the configuration file. The actual query string used to determine whether an item is old is : "SEEN NOT FLAGGED BEFORE (3 days ago)". Which means that an item WON'T be deleted if it satisfies one of the following conditions :

- •

  It isn't 3 days old ;

- •

  It hasn't been read yet ;

- •

  It is flagged (marked as Important, for example).

- **-d**, **--dry-run**

  Don't remove anything, but show what would be removed if run without this option.

- **-f**, **--config** *file*

  Use another config file (~/.feed2imaprc is the default).

## BUGS

Deletion criterias should probably be more configurable.
