On the cyrus list they mentioned email retention policies. Now some
people are going to say that this is really a job for the MTA

get you partly towards solving that need, but nothing out of the box
which would give you a cast iron (stand up in court) kind of
archiving control. However, you can get close I think

I noticed someone mentioned delayed expunges, which is implemented
nearly identically for Dovecot using lazy-expunge plugin. Although
with maildir that requires renaming the files elsewhere while Cyrus is
able to just leave the files where they are. I'll probably implement
the same thing for dbox format some day.
