Dave,
Well I'll try to explain a bit better.
You will need a program or script that can look at each users folder, store
that name (used later) and read the lastlog.in file date, and then do some
calculations to determine the age of the mailbox. If that is over 60d, then
it would call the adduser.exe (included with IMail or available from the web
site), which can be used to delete that user account (the folder name,
above). Those that are less than 60 days old would be left alone.
I'm not so sure that the date on the folder is really good for this use. It
could also mean that new mail was received on that date. The main.mbx file
date gets updated for every new message (or other operations), when they
come in (or get deleted). If the folder follows the same rule, it would not
be a good idea to use that date.
Yes, some versions of IMail, iin V5.0x, did not have the lastlog.in file,
but it has come back in 6.0x.
I'll pass the suggestion onward!
Happy Holidays!
Daniel Donnelly
