No. Instead I wrote a patch for ipurge to accept a regex pattern to include or NOT to include folders matching that pattern. I'll send the patch as soon as I'm done. -- With best regards, Carsten Hoeger pgpEmYihBslCc.pgp Description: PGP signature Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html

Correct. And I've been meaning to post the same question for awhile
now: How to have message expiration in a folder and *not* for its
subfolders - short of setting an additional annotation on each
sub-folder (which in our circumstance isn't workable as the user can
create additional subfolders).

My guess, is no. FYI, purge exhibits the same behavior [as documented].

Don't set expire for user (root) mailbox, only to "user/test1001/Sent Items".
If you really want expire anothers mailbox with 1 day, then the easy
way is set high value to "user/test1001/Sent Items".
Read the cyr_expire man to learn the option to enable annotation flag.
By default expire annotation is ignored.
