Yes, it did the same thing in version 5.x with no problems. There was
no open setting or available way of managing this. It appears to be
inside Imail. Ipswitch needs to fix this. It is the only problem with
8.x as far as I can tell.
The 30 days command line solution to delete mail older than 30 days is
interesting. I did not know this existed. If we did this, however, we
would be deleting legitimate email. This is unacceptable.
Ipswitch simply needs to fix the problem.
