Applying filter to exsisting mail - cPanel
« on: July 11, 2011, 02:09:41 PM »
Hi

I am running a cPanel server and using roundcube for my email. I set up a filter to move log emails to a folder called logs. The problem I have is that in the inbox folder there is 24000 emails all with the same subject. When I set up the filter I assumed that it would filter the exsisting mail aswell as all future incoming mail. Is there a way to apply the filter to the exsisting mail? I have full root info + SSH access.

thanks

You can do this with Thunderbird filters or [Dovecot] Put existing mails (in Maildir) through sieve filter?
