I found a bunch of settings in prefs.php which are inaccessible from
the Administration
interface, as far as I could tell.
I set the following value here to '1':
// should we move messages to a trash folder instead of just marking
// them as deleted?
$_prefs['use_trash'] = array(
'value' => 1,
'type' => 'checkbox',
'desc' => _("When deleting messages, move them to your Trash
folder instead of marking them as deleted?")
);
I set the value here to '1':
// display the 'Empty Trash' link in the menubar?
$_prefs['empty_trash_menu'] = array(
'value' => 1,
'type' => 'checkbox',
'desc' => _("Display the \"Empty Trash\" link in the menubar?")
);
The following setting wasn't documented in the prefs, but judging by
an old post related to IMP 3 or 4, the possible values are: yearly =
1, monthly = 2, weekly = 3, daily = 4, every login = 5 . I have no
idea if these are true, but I'm hoping so. I selected monthly.
// how often to purge the Trash folder?
$_prefs['purge_trash_interval'] = array(
'value' => 2,
'type' => 'enum',
'enum' => array_merge(array(0 => _("Never")),
Horde_LoginTasks::getLabels()),
'desc' => _("Purge Trash how often:"),
'help' => 'prefs-purge_trash_interval'
);
The trash solution seems to work well within dynamic. I can't tell
yet if the purge setting is meaningful, so that is the only remaining
question I have. Are those values for purge_trash_interval from older
IMP still used in IMP 5?
I think this solution is good.
