[Dovecot] Deleting mail accounts older than 6 monthes

[Najib Abi Fadel]

I guess i am not using dovecot.index and apparently the atime option is not workin for me !
Is there any other way ?

I was considering the option of checking out the login time in the docevot log files in order to detect the users that has not logged in to their accounts during the last 6 monthes .

The atime on the folder will tell you, if you haven't attempted to read the 
file since Dovecot last accessed it.

That means you can't run a verify against the file when backing up the 
partition. I get around this by remounting my partitions with noatime 
before doing my verify pass. (The backup is done with dump, which bypasses 
the filesystem and hence doesn't affect atime. But the verify is done with 
restore, which does go through the filesystem.)
