doveadm search -u [email protected] mailbox INBOX | cut -d" " -f2 |
head -n -200 | tr '\n' , | xargs -n1 doveadm expunge -u
[email protected] mailbox INBOX uid
basically, get all uid's and use head to cut out all but the last 200,
turn that into a comma separated list, and pass to dovadm expunge.
Test it first!

I have a question?
Is it possible that with doveadm delete all but the last x-number of
messages in a folder. For example to retain the last 200 messages in
the folder.
If it is possible, how do you do it?
Something like "doveadm expunge -u [email protected] mailbox xxx"
Thank you!
