Ok, I tried the individual ipurge command above (ipurge -f -d 3 user/telsey/mail/[EMAIL PROTECTED]), but it did not remove anything. It executed and imediately went back to the prompt with no error or anything else. I definately have old items in my Trash. I am executing the command from the command line as the cyrus account. su - cyrus cd /usr/cyrus/bin ./ipurge -f -d 1 user/telsey/mail/[EMAIL PROTECTED] Does ipurge log any information anywhere? Is there an updated version of the program? I'm ready, and willing to try anything.
