How do I delete old messages?
toaster_watcher.pl includes this functionality. Simply enable it within toaster-watcher.conf and it will do the job for you. The following options are available to customize exactly what messages get cleaned up.
- maildir_clean_interval = 7 # The # of days between cleanup runs
This is the "master" switch for all the following cleanup options. If this is set to zero, nothing below matters.
- maildir_clean_Read = 0 # remove read messages
- maildir_clean_Unread = 365 # remove unread messages (days)
- maildir_clean_Sent = 180 # sent messages over x days are removed
- maildir_clean_Trash = 14 # trashed messages over x days are removed
- maildir_clean_Spam = 14 # spam messages over x days are removed
The values shown are the defaults and can be configured to suit your preferences.
