Hi, I have set up a dovecot imap server (Version 1.0.15 on Debain Lenny). Until know I used courier. Every night I run a script calling archivemail ( http://archivemail.sourceforge.net/) to delete all messages in the Spam folder that are older than 30 days archivemail deletes the files directly in the Maildir folder. I am not using IMAP for this (cause I don't want to store the passwords in plain text). I know that dovecot uses index fil...

Hi, I've observed that dovecot doesn't displays all mails from compressed via gzip mailbox (mbox). At the same time "mutt -f mailbox.gz" displays it correctly with all messages. I'm using archivemail to archive old mails. Internally it creates new "gzip" archive with "expired" messages and then concatenates it with archive.

Hello all...new to dovecot and this list. I have a question that may have been answered before, but I can't find anything yet that addresses it directly. I installed dovecot 2.0.8 (+postfix, fetchmail) on a small server to manage several e-mail accounts. I love this software! So, to back to the question: I'd like to archive e-mail as it ages into a single IMAP archive directory.

Dovecot will soon have a plugin which allows running a nightly cronjob to expunge mails from configured mailboxes which have been in there for a configurable amount of time. For example the configuration could be: plugin { # Trash 7d, Spam 30d expire = Trash 7 Spam 30 } It also supports using Dovecot's lib-dict to keep track of the mailboxes and their oldest mail's timestamp, so that
