Hi
Hi Jens,
I'm currently prowling for some IMAP tools to help me maintain our mailboxes. I'd prefer "pure" IMAP, i.e. no messing with file system directly, but would settle for more crude ways if need be.
Specifically I am looking for:
- Expunge tool: Outlook does not seem to auto-expunge messages in any way shape or form. So I'd like to run a daily cron to expunge all mailboxes. - Quota helper: Some way to send a warning email once a day or so, saying "you're close to your quota limit, please delete some mail" or somesuch
If you use Maildirs, you can use maildrop as your delivery agent, and use its '-w' option which will place a warning message into a user's mailbox when they are approaching their quota limit.
The cone mail client (written by the author of Courier-IMAP) comes with a tool called mailtool (I think that's the name, but the name's not important). It's a full-featured IMAP client which you may be able to use against your Dovecot server to do a nightly clean-up of old messages, for example. You'd probably need to use Dovecot's "master user" feature, so that you can log into any user's account using this command-line tool.
You can get both these packages from http://www.courier-mta.org/
