I looked at ipurge but I find it also happily deletes messages that
weren't marked for deletion. It appears to delete everything older than
X days, regardless of that \Deleted flag mentioned in another reply.

Hi Bron,
Yes, it sounds like that's what I'm looking for: running expunge
periodically.
Now there's one slight problem here: I can't just run expunge as it is.
I have users who periodically need to undelete messages. I'd like
expunge to only act on messages older than X days, giving people
Hi,
I am looking for a way to run a daily script on the Cyrus IMAP server
that processes every user's mail folders and deletes every message
marked for deletion older than X days.
I realize the proper way to do this is client-side and have the client
program purge/expunge the mailboxes
I think that the cyr_expire command may be what you are searching
for.

I'll do some more checking then. My cyr_expire version doesn't even have
the -X option (I'm testing this on a system that has cyrus imap 2.2.13
as its recent version).

cyr_expire -D and -X deal with delayed delete expunge,
respectively. Neither will address message that the MUA hasn't
already deleted (in the case of folders) or expunged (in the case of
messages).
The tool that is closest to the desired functionality is ipurge. In
