    imap-clean

    Simple tool to remove old messages from a remote mailbox over IMAP (including GMail). Its intended usage is being run periodically from a cron job to control mailbox usage of test accounts used by ai3/tools/service-prober and similar tools.

    Installation

    To build and install the imap-clean binary, run:

    go install git.autistici.org/ai3/tools/imap-clean@latest

    Usage

    The tool will scan the remote mailbox and delete messages older than the number of days provided by the --days option (default is 15).

    Use the --server command-line option to specify which server to connect to (in host:port format): the tool will automatically figure out if it needs to talk TLS or STARTTLS, unencrypted connections are not supported.

    Authentication is controlled by the --username and --password options. The tool also supports XOAUTH2 SASL authentication (used by GMail, for instance), in which case, instead of the --password option you should use --bearer-token with the appropriate OAuth2 token.
