hello,

courier imap has two features:

##NAME: IMAP_MOVE_EXPUNGE_TO_TRASH:0

Set IMAP_MOVE_EXPUNGE_TO_TRASH to move expunged messages to Trash. This

effectively allows an undo of message deletion by fishing the deleted

mail from trash. Trash can be manually expunged as usually, and mail

will get automatically expunged from Trash according to IMAP_EMPTYTRASH.

NOTE: shared folders are still expunged as usual. Shared folders are

not affected.

is this possible with dovecot too ?

i like IMAP_MOVE_EXPUNGE_TO_TRASH as well. it would be nice to have on the roadmap if its not too hard to do =)

##NAME: IMAP_EMPTYTRASH:0

The following setting is optional, and causes messages from the given

folder to be automatically deleted after the given number of days.

IMAP_EMPTYTRASH is a comma-separated list of folder:days. The default

setting, below, purges 7 day old messages from the Trash folder.

Another useful setting would be:

IMAP_EMPTYTRASH=Trash:7,Sent:30

This would also delete messages from the Sent folder (presumably copies

of sent mail) after 30 days. This is a global setting that is applied to

every mail account, and is probably useful in a controlled, corporate

environment.

is this possible with dovecot too ?

I believe Timo was thinking about a plugin to do this, and had even discussed how the config would work. Not sure the progress on it though...
