So basically you are screwing people who choose to leave mail on the
server for what ever reason. Do you bother to notify them that this mail
will not be available after X# days or just surprise them? If your
clientele are routinely leaving messages on the server it would seem that
they are in need of an IMAP based system. Have you even considered that?
