dovecot - Feb 2008 - Scheduled folder purging

Hi all.
I'm looking for a way to empty user's trash folder.
Can message deletion or folder purging be scheduled?

Thanks in advance.

Of course. Run a cron job to search, for example, for files older than
a certain date.

Delete all files in /cur which are older than 30 days:
/usr/bin/find /home/vmail/*/.Junk/cur -mtime +30 -type f -daystart
-exec rm '{}' \;

Hope that helps.

Kind regards,
Ronald.

It would be a nice feature in Dovecot to have it be able to remove 
messages older than say 3 days from Trash automatically.
