server initiated auto-purge?

Hello.

I'm sure this question has been answered a 1000 times, but I have

searched everywhere and can't find the answer. Forgive me for my

noobishness.

Anyway, I run three IMAP servers with a couple hundred accounts each.

The powers that be have insisted that we standardize on Outlook 2000.

The problem is that when users delete an email it naturally flags it

for deletion rather than deleting it directly (duh). This of course has

led to some rather large mailstores. In outlook express, this wasn't

a problem as you could perform expunge when the user changed folders.

However Outlook does not have this feature.

Given that my users go nuts if they lose thier word and excel

desktop shortcuts, I'm not going to be able to show them how to

hit the expung button in outlook each time before they logout.

So, is there a way that I can have the server perform an auto-expunge?

Or could I write a script to connect to server and

expunge messages as a specific user?

Thanks.

Scott.
