While running dovecot on debian etch using version 1.0.rc15-2etch3, i wonder the following: If i read the config files correctly, dovecot seems to have no equivalent of courier's IMAP_EMPTYTRASH=Trash:7 setting. Therefore, i wrote a script that dives into the user's directories and their maildirs. It looks like this: ============================================= #!/bin/bash for pad1 in $(ls /home) do if [ -e "/home/$pad1/Maildir/.Prullenbak" ] then find "/home/$p...

Hi all, I found an article (with python script) on how to clean up Maildir folder for old email messages from http://www.ducea.com/2006/11/25/cleanup-maildir-folders-archive-delete-old-mails/ . As I understand, this will be run by each user after login. How can I make this runs at least once a month and delete all users message with age more than one month for example using crontab? I am using

...a folder after a given time period; ostensibly it's to keep a Trash folder clean, but we use it to keep the Junk folder (where spam is delivered by Exim) clean. How can I do this in Dovecot? Here's the chunk from Courier for those unfamiliar with it (just part of the verbiage): ##NAME: IMAP_EMPTYTRASH:0 # # The following setting is optional, and causes messages from the given # folder to be automatically deleted after the given number of days. # IMAP_EMPTYTRASH is a comma-separated list of folder:days. # # Important: the purging is controlled by CTIME, not MTIME ... So in our case it's set...

...ng, which they use with Courier IMAP and (still) think it needs to be replicated 1:1 to dovecot. Currently they use maildir++ quota format. Mails moved to Trash get not included in the Quota calculation (standard "feature" of Courier IMAP) and get expunged after a certain period of days (IMAP_EMPTYTRASH). Is there any way we could replicate this behaviour with Dovecot? Not including mails in the Trash-folder into quota calculation seems to be a no-go to me according to the documentation, you can ignore the quota limit when copying messages into a certain folder with the "ignore" keyword...

Hello, I have dovecot running with MailDir as a backend to store email and I would like to remove mail that is older that 30 days. I can do this by running 'find' on the MailDir but will this cause any issues with dovecot?
