[webmin-l] Feature Request

Moving a bunch of virtualhost around lately, I ran across one email 
account that had 80,000 emails in the trash. Since, I found a number of 
accounts with 20, 30, 40,000 in the trash. So, I went back to look at 
Mailbox Cleanup again. I wouldn't want to ever delete any messages from 
a clients Inbox unless they requested it... but trash? I have run a 
dovecot script to delete spam from spam folders. Anyway... my thought!

It would be great if Mailbox cleanup had a function to delete messages 
older than X number for days from <a list of email folder taken from a 
list that I generated>. I could add trash, Trash, Deleted Messages, 
Deleted Items and on and on it goes. I guess the only tricky part would 
be INBOX.Trash and INBOX.trash and INBOX.Deleted Messages... but I could 
most likely find them to add.

So, far today, I deleted about 30 GB of trash from clients email boxes 
after asking them if it was alright. I would be happy to make an 
announcement that we are going to do this. Yeah, some versions of 
Outlook hide 'purge' and I doubt most end users even know what purge 
means. Heck, the one with 80K messages uses SquirrelMail and purge is 
right there in your face? Go figure.

Or, I could set up a bunch of Dovecot crons to do this. :)

Thanks,
John Hinton
