Well, one possibility would be to just list them all in there. If the
mailbox doesn't exist it's just ignored.

Alternatively you really can make that setting user-specific simply by
returning the "expire" from userdb. Then it overrides the
plugin-setting.

Well, I guess expiring "all" would be possible somewhat easily, but I
don't know if I should bother adding that. :) INBOX can of course be
listed just as well as other boxes. Hmm. Adding support for "*" wouldn't
be too difficult though.
