it seems that Squirrel mail uses Mailbox annotations for storing Expire times on the Server. It's an Cyrus server currently. (I've no clue how cyrexpire is able to read it's information from the annotiations) Does dovecot support some similiar mechanism? Or - does anybody know anything about how it's supposed to work on Cyrus and how it can be emulated/simulated with dovecot?
maybe metadata could be used. dovecot.conf: mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir/ mail_attribute_dict = file:Maildir/dovecot-metadata imap_metadata = yes $ doveadm mailbox metadata set -u user INBOX/subfolder /private/my_expire_info 5 -> is saved in ~user/Mailfir/dovecot-metadata $ doveadm mailbox metadata get -u user INBOX/subfolder /private/my_expire_info 5 now you could iterate over all mailboxes and all users and do magic things. unsolved: how could a user set values?
