Hi Timo, your examples are well to understand,
i ve tested the mysql setup also using ... --test
everything looks fine and works as it should but
mails dont get deleted, i am testing this with 1.2.1 since
a few days, any hint what to search for in the logs to find out whats
going wrong ?
Anyway the time should be set more shortly for testing
waiting 1 day minimum isnt really fun
