Ah!, confirmed with: for i in `ls -S ~/.getmail/oldmail*|sed q`; do perl -F\\0 -anwle 'print $F[1]' $i|sort -n|sed q|LC_ALL=C xargs -i date -d @{} done OK, now all you need to do is add to the FAQ: Q: Do the oldmail files just grow and grow? A: No. Entries are removed 30 days after the items they refer to are deleted from the server.
