from the wiki of Lazy Expunge: "The plugin is configured by defining namespaces where the mails are moved. You can decide if you want the namespaces to be visible to clients, or if you want to show them only via some special webmail interface. You can use either one or three namespaces"
How do I access the namespaces(the back up mailboxes) ? We are using Thunderbird,Microsoft Outlook & RoundCube Webmail as email clients.

accessed for a set amount of time (in our case 90 days) and then deletes those
files. In other words, the messages are kept for 90 days after they have been
deleted or moved out of the user's inbox.http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Lazyexpunge also does pretty much
that, although for all mailboxes, not just for INBOX. And it doesn't automatically expire them.There's also rsnapshot which I've been using for hardlinked,
incremental backups for a couple years now. Very flexible and has
saved us a couple times.-Terry
