Re: User-configurable time-based mail deletion in specific folders

Hi I have been wondering about if Dovecot has a feature that would allow users to setup a rule for a given folder, that mails older than X days should be deleted?

Or is this something that would need to be done by an external script?

Yes. It goes beyond of what I expect from an IMAP server.

I have looked a bit at autoexpunge, and while the basic feature looks to be what I need, it doesn't seem to be configurable down to a specific folder on a single user.

Things like this should be done locally on the Mailclient (MUA), IMHO.
