It's all direct filesystem operations, no IMAP. But v1.2.15 can read v2.0's index files just fine. >> Looks about ok.

I was more thinking what happens if the user creates a mailbox called `rm -rf /` or something.. Also if there are " or \ characters I think the LIST output will use literals and your parsing will break more or less badly. > I suppose another spin on this would be for me to script the preauth > imap client to figure out which mailboxes have messages marked for > deletion of such and such an age and then try to use EXPUNGE to wipe > just them out. I'm not sure off hand if that's possible. That would be a bit difficult at least to do via IMAP..
