We have about 90,000 accounts, and our current model is that we leave expired accounts around for a year. The user can't login, and we don't accept new mails, but it's still there in case the account is re-activated. After one year the mailbox hierarchy is put into a .tgz and written to tape. When that is done the account is permanently deleted. If the user should come back, they get a completely new account. I can't recall a single instance where the .tgz was ever needed, but that's not my problem. After one more year the .tgz is deleted from tape as well. -- .:.Sebastian Hagedorn - Weyertal 121 (Gebäude 133), Zimmer 2.02.:. .:.Regionales Rechenzentrum (RRZK).:. .:.Universität zu Köln / Cologne University - ✆ +49-221-470-89578.:. <> smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature Cyrus Home Page: http://www.cyrusimap.org/ List Archives/Info: http://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/info-cyrus/ To Unsubscribe: https://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/mailman/listinfo/info-cyrus

I create a calendar event [task] to delete the mailbox and otherwise just leave it. If the account itself is disabled it cannot be accessed.

What you do with old account
Hi I like to know what you do in time with the olds accounts. Long time ago (well 2 years) we using dovecot as imap server. And when some accounts are closed we create a archive of the person mailbox (with tar), put that in some backup server where the file going to stay about 2 years. After that the data are destroy The reason we keep that is some time (30% of the time) the person going to come back and event it's not mandatory for us, the person are very happy to go it old mailbox. After switching to cyrus imap, I think about how to do that. If I'm correct I cannot just copy the file somewhere else, because cyrus database would keep the information about the existance of the mailbox, so what will the «state of the art» way to remove a mail account and all the mail. And how what would be the «state of the art» way to put it back ? Regards.
