Re: [Dovecot] removing old emails

Ray, We do this, deleting spam filtered messages older than 21 days. We also delete the index's and let Dovecot re-generate them. Have had no problems with this method for 4 months.

Regards

Dean Manners

Hello, I need to remove mail older than for example 30 days. Email is stored in maildir format. can I just use a cron job and shell script or will that mess up indexs? Thanks Ray
