Hi Charles,
Just wondering, how do i check if a file (or a mail) is X days old.
I need to do something like this for one of my domains at a customer's
request. I wish to delete all mails of a domain that is 14 days old. Please
tell me how is this possible.
I am also using SQWebmail as my online email client. The last time i deleted
a mail from the directory "cur" or "new", SQWebmail still reported as the
mail being there although i did not get any error msgs when i popped my
mailbox.
Pls help.
Thanks
Sunil
