Deleting mails from INBOX
Is there a possibility by mail server admin to delete the mails from the Inbox without deleteing the folder.
mboxutil -d user/<user-name>/INBOX deletes all the mail folders including INBOX. I just want to clean the contents for INBOX without deleting any.
Thanks

Hi Shobana,
To remove just the INBOX you can remove the *.msg files on disk and then reconstruct the users account.
The INBOX folders are the 00 -> 99 folders in the base of the users account on disk. All other folders are stored under their own foldername e.g. Sent is stored under "=+Sent"

Your other option is to use webmail, with a url that involves your proxyauth user, and just do your deletions that way. no reconstructs requred...
http://your-server.com/login.msc?user=admin&password=admin&fmt-out=text /html&proxyauth=user
where user=admin means the contents of the config setting for store.admins, and the user at the end is the user who's mailbox you want to access.
