Curious...

Cyrus pop3d supports it for some reason, qpopper allows adding it into responce
of "capa" pop3 command.

Some old pine releases was crashed with it...

But seem's you are right. There is no support with thunderbird for end-user. So
this way to declare expiration policy isn't usefull... Sorry...
