It ist exactly the same as your example. So does anybody have a hint on the second way to manage the time until deletion, the "annotation"-stuff? Where do I find/manipulate the annotations and if it is the databse annotations.db how do I open/manage this DB?
Thx. Thomas PS: I don´t think that this was responsible for killing my 20 mailfolders. I didn´t find any hints that cyr_expire can remove directories (sub-mailboxes completely from filesystem and mailboxes.db). So I assume that it was a client error (the software, or even more plausible the user). I send another question about how to read the binary log file. ______________________________________________________________________ XXL-Speicher, PC-Virenschutz, Spartarife & mehr: Nur im WEB.DE Club!
