I'm interested in replacing my cron script that expunges old deleted mail with the new feature announced in 2.2.20
- Added mailbox { autoexpunge=<time> } setting. See http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxSettings for details. To use it, I need to specify which mailbox needs them using the namespace configuration. For example
namespace inbox { mailbox Trash { auto = no special_use = \Trash autoexpunge = 7d mailbox_list_index = yes } ... mailbox_list_index=yes is a global setting. You can't have it here.
Oh, yes. Thanks for pointing that out. By the way, what does it do? The wiki states
mailbox_list_index=yes can help a lot by replying to IMAP STATUS (and similar) lookups from a single index without having to open each mailbox index separately.
So it create an uber-index that combines information from individual indices?
Some of the information, yes.
Are there any drawback to using this?
It's more disk I/O for keeping the new index up to date.
