Remove All Emailed Contacts

 - This is archive documentation, which means it is not supported or valid for recent versions of Zimbra Collaboration.

Here is a simple script I used to remove all the "/Emailed Contacts" folders for all the users on the system. We in-advertedly left the Automatic adding of contacts enabled in our COS (Admin GUI under CoS -> Preferences) And after disabling it, we needed to remove all the emailed contacts, so our GAL would work properly. Here is my quick script on how I did it.

#!/bin/bash

if [ `whoami` != "zimbra" ]; then
        echo "You must be the zimbra user to run this script."
                exit 0
fi

for i in `zmprov -l gaa`
do
	echo "Emptying the - /Emailed Contacts - folder for $i"
	zmmailbox -z -m $i emptyFolder "/Emailed Contacts"
done
