Due to very low FP's, we have some folks at work that no longer even check their Spam folder and have rules set up to delete ALL mail marked as spam (we add a [s] to the subject) in real time (without ever seeing/reviewing them). bye for now, kg -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Bonno Bloksma Sent: Friday, November 18, 2005 4:39 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] IMail Feature Requests -> Delete mail in sub-mailbox after X number of days Hi Martin, We were talking about "the" spam folder in the user mailbox. If the user does not want to look at it, mail wil get deleted after a certain time in order to make sure it does not eat up the entire server/mailbox. My ISP (xs4all.nl) overhere has taken that road as well as users were starting to complain that they could not receive any mail. Turned out in most cases the cause was a multi MB spam folder in the mailbox the users were never looking at. :-( They were just POPing the mail, never checking the SPAM folder for false positives or whatever. So the solution overthere is if the user does not care to check the spam folder, mail in the SPAM folder get's deleted after x days or if it reaches x % of the mailbox size. Kevin, maybe that's another idea. To have "the" spam folder auto delete action trigered on the percentage of the size compared to either the mailbox size or the percentage free size.
