The documentation doesn't say anything about per-user which implies it can't be done. I would very much like to be wrong on that. By uniform, I don't mean global. I mean that the policy is set (by me on each of my folders) once instead of once per mail client. roland -- PGP Key ID: 66 BC 3B CD Roland B.

I don't think you can use extra fields for this now, but I wonder if it would be possible to modify expire plugin to do so? Well, it's a bit disappointing to hear that it can't be done, but I'm not surprised since that's what I was inferring from the documentation.

I don't think you can use extra fields for this now, but I wonder if it would be possible to modify expire plugin to do so? There should be a way to define global defaults - and even a way to enforce those defaults (maybe I don't want my users to be able to keep stuff in their trash folder for a year?)... but being that ianap, I have no idea how easy (or difficult) this would be to do. I do like the idea though, and if it is implemented, I'll push for the postfixadmin guys to support this in postfixadmin for a future release. -- Best regards, Charles
[Dovecot] Expire Plugin Configuration Question
I am very confused looking at the expires plugin and its configuration. What is confusing me the most is that it appears that I have to configure expiration globally, meaning, for example, that the Trash mailbox expiration interval is the same regardless of the user. What I really am looking for is per-user configurable rules. Those would obviously not be able to be in a file configuration but would have to be in some shared/sharable resource. Is such a thing possible? What I really want is the ability to move my expiration rules out of my email client and into dovecot. That would be very useful for me since I access my mail from more than one host and via more than one client. roland -- PGP Key ID: 66 BC 3B CD Roland B.
