Package: cyrus21-common
Version: 2.1.18-1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/sbin/ipurge

Hello,

this could be a wishlist, but this lack of functionality is sort of
braindead, so I file a normal bug.  When you specify a given Mailbox as
a pattern, ipurge doesn't do anything unless this is a shared mailbox.
But if you say "-f", which usually means something like "--force" and
actually, ipurge intends "-f" like a force switch then ipurge descends
down all subsequent folders! ipurge works non-recursive without -f!

This is fucking confusing! Braindead! BTW: What about something like
"--test" "--dry-run" or so? This bug(!) is dangerous, since ipurge's job
is deliberately a destructive job!
