dovecot - Jan 2010 - Are Mail files in /Maildir/cur & /Maildir/.Sent read-only ?

Hi ALL...

I want to know if the files  in /Maildir/cur & /Maildir/.Sent are modified
by dovecot.
I have a script which calculates the age of the mail files.
I think that if they are continuously modified by dovecot I won't be able to
calculate the age of the files.

Can Anyone plz advise on this....

Thanks
CoolAtt

Hi, this is a snip from the original 
http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/Maildir

"....with maildir the filename changes every time the message's flags 
change...."

Only if you "do" something with a mail (like deleting) the filename
and
modified date will change.
If you want to delete mails of a certain age you can you use either the 
Dovecot Xxpunge plugin or a cronjob with a command like:

find /home -mtime +30 -name *,ST -exec rm {} \;
