[Dovecot] Setting for deleting old messages from Trash?
Hi.
Just switched to Dovecot from Courier last week and have been very pleased so far. The conversion was extremely painless, and I only hit a few small configuration issues before I was able to get the server up and running. Since then, I've been quite pleased - Dovecot's been very stable, and a good bit faster than courier as well. However, there's one nice feature from courier that I used to use that it doesn't seem like Dovecot provides. Wanted to see if that was indeed the case and, if so, if there was any workaround.
In Courier, there was a setting whereby the server would automatically delete messages in the Trash once they were of a certain age. (The default was 7 days.) However, looking through the dovecot.conf, it didn't appear that Dovecot had any comparable setting.
Anyone know how I might achieve this with Dovecot?
TIA,
DR

You could test the plugin trash (see the wiki), for dovecot 1.1. An other way is a cron with a find/delete.

- Nicolas. Hum... I mistaked. This is the plugin 'expire' (not trash) : http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Lazyexpunge

Thanks much for the quick response, Nicolas.
Seems like a useful plugin ... but, alas - it's only available for v1.1. (I'm running 1.0.)
I guess I'll just set up a little cron job to do this, then. Not a big deal.
Thanks again,
DR
