Greetings,
I'm migrating an existing Courier IMAP installation to Dovecot (1.0rc19 right now) on a new server; there's one feature I'm not sure if Dovecot supports - but it might and I'm missing it, so I'll ask.
In Courier there's an option to expire a folder after a given time period; ostensibly it's to keep a Trash folder clean, but we use it to keep the Junk folder (where spam is delivered by Exim) clean.
How can I do this in Dovecot? Here's the chunk from Courier for those unfamiliar with it (just part of the verbiage):
##NAME: IMAP_EMPTYTRASH:0 # # The following setting is optional, and causes messages from the given # folder to be automatically deleted after the given number of days. # IMAP_EMPTYTRASH is a comma-separated list of folder:days. # # Important: the purging is controlled by CTIME, not MTIME ...
So in our case it's set like so:
IMAP_EMPTYTRASH=Junk:14
Thanks for any help/ideas - I'm not sure if we can live without this feature, the amount of spam is horrendous and users never clean out that folder.
