Hi All, I run a little hosting company. I use Dovecot 1.0.10* with IMAP exclusively. Lots of my customers use Outlook or Outlook Express. This poses a problem. These programs don't and have absolutely no workarounds to move messages to a trash folder when deleted. They only mark the message for deletion. Then, users have to purge the message to actually delete it. Outlook has a way

Hi, i am running basically this from cron: /usr/bin/doveadm -v expunge -u * mailbox INBOX.Spam SENTBEFORE 90d /usr/bin/doveadm -v expunge -u * mailbox INBOX.Trash SENTBEFORE 90d /usr/bin/doveadm -v expunge -u * mailbox INBOX.Junk SENTBEFORE 90d Now i am experiencing that the first line e.g. expunging INBOX.Spam returns the error code 68. No syslog/Output whatsoever. I tried running with -vvv -D

Is there any solution in sight for this?

Hello, I am running dovecot 2.0.9 with expire plugin, using the sqlite backend. The following command is executed every day by cron: doveadm expunge -A mailbox Trash savedbefore 30d I started to use the expire plugin about one month ago. Since then, using "doveadm search -A mailbox Trash savedbefore <days>" with different values for <days>, I could see every day how

Hi, I'm testing Dovecot 2.0rc2 with mdbox mail format and I'm not sure what this exactly means: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/dbox Quote from wiki page: ===== Expunging a message only decreases the message's refcount. The space is later freed in "purge" step. This may be done automatically within the session or later in a nightly cronjob when there's less

Hi, I'm running dovecot-1.0.beta8 from FreeBSD ports, using mbox mail store. My problem appears to have come up on the list about a month ago, "Expunge is not expunging unless it is called twice". I ran through Bill Boebel's telnet-IMAP session for myself, and I see that his test case is now fixed (as Timo said), but mutt, for whatever reason, uses +FLAGS.SILENT, and I'm

When using autoexpunge = 14 days in, for example. The trash of junk folders, does that physically remove the messages from disk or simply mark them to be removed and some other action needs to be taken? I ask because my mail server crapped out today and I discovered a Junk folder with 490,000 messages in it, and the sa-spamd and mariadb processes died a horrible death. Haven't had time to

There's now a plugin called lazy_expunge in CVS. Instead of EXPUNGE expunging the mails directly, they're moved to a mailbox with same name in another namespace where user can still copy the mails back. Also DELETEd mailboxes are moved to another namespace. See http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Lazyexpunge for more information. This is similar to Cyrus's two phase expunge:

For those of you running mailservers on CentOS 6, what are the suggestions for programs to expunge old email? For instance, deleting email from a Spam folder that is 2 weeks old or older. I see that Dovecot does have a solution, but was wondering about what others have landed on. My systems are basically Postfix, Dovecot using Maildir. Thanks, John Hinton

Hello, Can this be done? configurable number of days? Like to move from courier, but this is the only thing we really need to convince us to change, it is no good telling users to periodically delete trash, they never listen :) Quey

Well, not for me. doveadm search -u user at domain ALL savedbefore 2d -- returns some messages doveadm expunge -u user at domain mailbox '*' savedbefore 2d -- nothing shown, but no error doveadm

Hi, I'm currently migrating to Dovecot-based IMAP server for a ~200 users environment. Clients are Outlook 2003/2007, Thunderbird 3.x and various mobile clients. 1) What I want to accomplish is to allow the users to delete a message (then the message is moved to "Trash"), then when they empty/delete that message from Trash, it will be kept somewhere on the server for X days,

Hello, I have migrated my mailbox server from Dovecot 2.1.7 (Debian 7) to Dovecot 2.3.4 (Debian 10) and have a crontab setup in root to daily delete all mails in the INBOX of a specific user which are older than 90 days like this: /usr/bin/doveadm expunge -u username\@domain.com mailbox INBOX savedbefore 90d Unfortunately this does not work anymore. I also tried to run the command manually as

Hello, I'm configuring lazy expunge plugin to act as a kind of backup of my user's emails. I'm getting a little problem because a lot of my users use "move to trash" behaviour in their email client (most of them are using thunderbird which has no option to hide deleted messages and is a hassle working with mark as deleted with it). The problem combining move to trash
