I think you’ll need a script for this. At the most basic level you could just create a bash script, add a bunch of expunge commands and then run it every day (or week or whatever) via crontab. For example: doveadm expunge -u some...@yourdomain.tld <mailto:some...@yourdomain.tld> \( mailbox Trash or mailbox Junk \) savedBefore 30d doveadm expunge -u someone_e...@youdomain.tld <mailto:someone_e...@youdomain.tld> savedBefore 90d And so-on. Also, don’t forget to add a purge command if you’re using the mdbox format, in my case I’d add this to the start of the script, so messages aren’t purged right away (i.e- expunged messages are not purged until the next time the script runs), but this only applies to that format. More complex logic will require a more complex script, I’ve been working on something of my own but I don’t know if I’d call it ready yet, and I’m not aware of anything else pre-made that will do it, but hopefully others can weigh in if there is.
