Hello Scott, Thanks for the info.
However, that only takes care of the "automatic" emptying of trash. What if I want to empty trash on demand? And also, as it mentions, the below forces a stat() in each folder, at login and logout, which is quite expensive, so I opted not to turn on the IMAP_EMPTYTRASH ----- Original Message Follows ----- > From imapd: > > ##NAME: IMAP_EMPTYTRASH:0 > # > # The following setting is optional, and causes messages > from the given # folder to be automatically deleted after > the given number of days. # IMAP_EMPTYTRASH is a > comma-separated list of folder:days.
