Good morning,
When using delete_delayed if someone removes a big folder (that one with more
than 20 subfolders anywhere below it) in mboxlist_delayed_deletemailbox() only
last 20 are preserved. We think it could be a good idea to preserve all and to
have a parameter for configuring it. The reason for that, is that we use
delete_delayed for storing the removed content remotely with the customer hired
retention period in slow disk space. Perhaps could be a good idea something
like :
In mboxlist_delayed_deletemailbox() :
If (!preserve_delete_delayed_folders_always)
{
/* keep the last 19, so the new one is the 20th */
for (i = 0; i < (int)existing.count - 19; i++) {
const char *subname = strarray_nth(&existing, i);
syslog(LOG_NOTICE, "too many subfolders for %s, deleting %s (%d / %d)",
newname, subname, i+1, (int)existing.count);
r = mboxlist_deletemailbox(subname, 1, userid, auth_state, NULL, 0, 1,
1,
keep_intermediaries);
if (r) goto done;
}
}
In Cyrus imapd.conf :
preserve_delete_delayed_folders_always: true or false
Obviously, the part of code implied in reading the config file for
contemplating the possibility….
At Sarenet, we have done some scripts for managing the copy of removed content
(using delete delayed) and uploading it to a remote imap server. We are using
them successfully some years ago now. Is Cyrus project interested in that
scripts (that manage removed content) for later allowing the possibility of
restoring removed elements from another different IMAP store?. I have asked to
my superiors and would be happy to contribute it to Cyrus project… What do you
think Bron, Ellie?
Cheers!
