dovecot - Oct 2009 - Expire Plugin Configuration Question

I am very confused looking at the expires plugin and its configuration.  
What is confusing me the most is that it appears that I have to 
configure expiration globally, meaning, for example, that the Trash 
mailbox expiration interval is the same regardless of the user.  What I 
really am looking for is per-user configurable rules.  Those would 
obviously not be able to be in a file configuration but would have to be 
in some shared/sharable resource.  Is such a thing possible?  What I 
really want is the ability to move my expiration rules out of my email 
client and into dovecot.  That would be very useful for me since I 
access my mail from more than one host and via more than one client.

Hmmm... interesting. I don't think you can use extra fields for this
now, but I wonder if it would be possible to modify expire plugin to do so?

There should be a way to define global defaults - and even a way to
enforce those defaults (maybe I don't want my users to be able to keep
stuff in their trash folder for a year?)... but being that ianap, I have
no idea how easy (or difficult) this would be to do.

I do like the idea though, and if it is implemented, I'll push for the
postfixadmin guys to support this in postfixadmin for a future release.

Maybe for v2.0.
