Fw: User-configurable time-based mail deletion in specific folders
Things like this should be done locally on the Mailclient (MUA), IMHO.
If you are a company, then you must delete old e-mails automatically, by GDPR law.

In this case it comes back to that this is better done by an external script.
First, dovecot is a global product, where not every company has to take care about european nonense laws. :P Second, I would not want dovecot to become a „fullsize all in one solution for everything“ (like MS Exchange). I like the concept of doing one thing only, but doing this good.

I forgot to write that this is my (humble) opinion. Personally, if write an email to anyone I don’t care what happens with that mail and how long it is stored. If I would care, I would not write that email.
OT: Beyond that I also hate clicking on „accept cookies“ on any f*cking web page I visit. It is something that I could just as good set in my browsers cookie saving policy, if I cared.

Not true.
If you are a non-European company with European customers, then you are subject to GDPR law.

leave@dovecot.orgAgreed, although it doesn't apply to sending emails from non European citizens, only mailboxes containing European citizens' emails. It's only enforceable if the citizenship of the holder of the mailbox is known.
However, the assertion that if you are a company you are required to delete old emails automatically according to GDPR is not correct. In the UK which was aligned with the European GDPR there is no such requirement; in fact, for accounting and some legal reasons you are required to keep records for 6-7years, so if those records eg orders, are emails or attachments in emails they should be kept. https://www.ionos.co.uk/startupguide/grow-your-business/retention-periods-fo... (the email retention section)
It is probably more an individual company policy using GDPR as an "excuse". That is very commonly used as a reason why a company can or cannot do something, regardless of the actual GDPR law. In this case, probably to keep user's mail boxes down to a sensible size, although based on the above info, they may be breaking other laws by deleting emails.
You can look up the actual gdpr requirements if you are interested. the uk version is here https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/uk-gdpr-guidance-and-resources/data-pro... which show you can keep data as emails as long as you want, providing you have a reason.

This is not a legal forum. My advice is to read the original GDPR law. The UK-GDPR is not GDPR.
The original question was how to delete mails after a specified amount of time. Let us stay on the tecnical side, and leave the legal masturbation to lawyers.

Hi,
A bit late to the party, but I just ran into some docs that say that protonmail has a sieve extension that supports this: https://proton.me/support/sieve-advanced-custom-filters#managing-expiration. I'm not finding any source code though...
Kind regards,
Tom
