[gentoo-user] Automatic email deletion
Can anyone tell me how my old email is most likely being deleted? I'm using courier-imap and postfix. I'd like to keep the old stuff for longer than 2 weeks, but I'm not sure where to specify this. - Grant -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

We used to have courier installed at work (I replaced it with cyrus) but it never deleted emails. Perhaps you have a cronjob? Regards, Norberto -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

Mail is only deleted by the email client. ;) Be lucky, Neil -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

You didn't state _in the trash_ folder in your previous message. (I guessed, tho'! :P Looks like the other respondents didn't!) $ sudo grep -i trash /etc/courier-imap/imapd ##NAME: IMAP_TRASHFOLDERNAME:0 # The name of the magic trash Folder. For MSOE compatibility, # you can set IMAP_TRASHFOLDERNAME=Deleted Items. # IMPORTANT: If you change this, you must also change IMAP_EMPTYTRASH IMAP_TRASHFOLDERNAME=Trash ##NAME: IMAP_EMPTYTRASH:0 # IMAP_EMPTYTRASH is a comma-separated list of folder:days. The default # setting, below, purges 7 day old messages from the Trash folder. # IMAP_EMPTYTRASH=Trash:7,Sent:30 # as shown by ls). It is perfectly ordinary to see stuff in Trash that's # changed when the file is moved to the Trash folder (and at other times too). #IMAP_EMPTYTRASH=Trash:7 IMAP_EMPTYTRASH=Trash:14,Junk.Possible:14 ##NAME: IMAP_MOVE_EXPUNGE_TO_TRASH:0 # Set IMAP_MOVE_EXPUNGE_TO_TRASH to move expunged messages to Trash. This # mail from trash. Trash can be manually expunged as usually, and mail # will get automatically expunged from Trash according to IMAP_EMPTYTRASH.
