After researching the archives a bit (pity people have to top-post) I found some information regarding the % character and teh * character. The % character is a wildcard for just the username part and the * is a wildcard for everything up to the folder. So my command is ipurge -f -b 1 "*/Deleted Items" "*/Junk E-mail" --- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
