Hello Joseph, You nailed it. Mine uses Purge. Purge is a common programming term so you can bet that the reason they use that word is it's coming from the programmers writing the email client. Expunge sounds more like a legal term than anything to do with software and I'm surprised that it becam

Hi Bron, Yes, it sounds like that's what I'm looking for: running expunge periodically. Now there's one slight problem here: I can't just run expunge as it is. I have users who periodically need to undelete messages. I'd like expunge to only act on messages older than X days, giving people t

cyr_expire -D and -X deal with delayed delete & expunge, respectively. Neither will address message that the MUA hasn't already deleted (in the case of folders) or expunged (in the case of messages). The tool that is closest to the desired functionality is ipurge. In order for ipurge to

In the manual page, the definition of the '-X' option seems to do what you want: -X expunge-days Expunge previously deleted messages older than expunge-days (when using the "delayed" expunge mode). The default is 0 (zero) days, which will expunge a

Hi Ken, From the description it seems like cyr_expire will apply to every email in a mailbox. I don't want to delete any regular emails other than the ones already marked for deletion by an email client who is lacking a decent purge feature. Gerard Beekmans IT Manager Achilles Media Tel: 403
