mozilla imap client
Hi,
the IMAP client that comes with the mozilla browser is nice to
use. But it has the peculiar habit to leave deleted messages in the
folders until the user manually 'compacts' his folders (or a
particular folder).
This is not exactly nice, as the number of messages in the folders
will endlessly increase in case users are not aware that they should
'compact' their folders frequently. They do not even see wheather
there are deleted messages that could/should be purged or not. I tried
to find an option to purge deleted messages automatically, but to no
avail.
Is there a setting to purge folders automatically? Or is there some
tool that could be run from the crontab on the IMAP server that would
purge the deleted messages in all folders of all users?
Purging the messages forceably by running something like
# find ~/Maildir/ -type f -name "*,ST" | xargs rm
on all home directories doesn't feel like being a good idea.
