You're welcome.
Here's a commented version:
EXPIRE.BAT
----------
FOR /F %%J IN ('echo %1') DO MOVE /Y %%~dpnJ.uid c:\imail\exptemp //move index
to working folder
FOR /F %%J IN ('echo %1') DO MOVE /Y %%~dpnJ.mbx c:\imail\exptemp //move mailbox
to working folder
C:\IMAIL\IMMSGEXP -tc:\imail\exptemp -d21 //run expiry
utility
IF EXIST %1 REN %1 %1.new //if new
messages delivered during expiration, reserve new messages in separate mailbox to
prevent overwriting
FOR /F %%K IN ('echo %1') DO MOVE /Y c:\imail\exptemp\*.* %%~dpK //move index
and mailbox back to original location
IF EXIST %1.new COPY /Y /B %1+%1.new %1 //if new
messages, concatenate old and new mailboxes under old name (UID will recreate at next
access)
IF EXIST %1.new DEL %1.new //delete new
message mailbox
