From '/etc/courier/imapd': ##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. # # Important: the purging is controlled by CTIME, not MTIME (the file time # as shown by ls). It is perfectly ordinary to see stuff in Trash that's # a year old. That's the file modification time, MTIME, that's displayed. # This is generally when the message was originally delivered to this # mailbox. Purging is controlled by a different timestamp, CTIME, which is # changed when the file is moved to the Trash folder (and at other times too). # # You might want to disable this setting in certain situations - it results # in a stat() of every file in each folder, at login and logout. # -- Adam James <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
