dovecot - Sep 2008 - Expire with space in mailbox name

Hello all,

I'm running Dovecot 1.1.3 and trying to make use of the expire plugin on my
mbox-based mailboxes. Expire seems to be populating the database when it
comes to the trash folder, but I'm having issues with a spam folder
(unfortunately) named "Junk E-mail". I've tried quotes and a
backslash to
account for the space, but it's not happening. Can anyone tell me how I
would account for a folder like this? Neither of the following work, and I
haven't found an example that addresses this.

expire = Trash 7 "Junk E-mail" 7
expire = Trash 7 Junk\ E-mail 7

Thanks in advance.

Not possible currently.

I guess this should be supported some day. Or even better would be if  
the entire configuration could be done like:

expire {
   mailbox = Junk E-mail
   limit = 7d
}

But that'll have to wait until v2.0.
