dovecot - May 2008 - Question about Maildir automatic cleanup.

Hi!

I want to automatically delete old messages from one user's Maildir, and I
was thinking on running something like this:

find /home/user/Maildir/cur/ /home/user/Maildir/new/ -daystart -mtime +15
-delete

but I'm not sure if by deleting messages "manually" I will break
the dovecot.index* files.

What do you think?

Thanks!

Ildefonso.

The index files will "auto-fix".
