[Dovecot] Re: Trash expire plugin

Dovecot will soon have a plugin which allows running a nightly cronjob to expunge mails from configured mailboxes which have been in there for a configurable amount of time. For example the configuration could be:

plugin { # Trash 7d, Spam 30d expire = Trash 7 Spam 30 }

I'm looking forward to this. In the meantime, for messages in Maildir format, is it safe to delete message files using a simple cron script based on "find" with a specified mtime?

For mbox style I've used the common scripts "archivemail" and "expiremail.pl", and I'm looking for something similar to use with Maildir.

Thanks, Mark
