how to exclude subfolder from expiration using annotations?
Hi, I'm currently trying to find out how to use cyr_expire in combination with annotations exluding one single subfolder per mailbox. I'm running RHEL5 with v2.3.7-Invoca-RPM-2.3.7-2.el5_3.2. What I did: . setannotation user/test1001 /vendor/cmu/cyrus-imapd/expire (value.shared 1) . OK Completed . getannotation user/test1001 /vendor/cmu/cyrus-imapd/expire value.shared * ANNOTATION user/test1001 /vendor/cmu/cyrus-imapd/expire (value.shared 1) . OK Completed Now I want to exclude the Sent Items folder from expiring, so I did . setannotation user/test1001/Sent Items /vendor/cmu/cyrus-imapd/expire (value.shared NIL) . OK Completed But that does not work: $ su - cyrus -c '/usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/cyr_expire -E 3 -v' expiring messages in user.test1001 older than 1 days expiring messages in user.test1001.Drafts older than 1 days expiring messages in user.test1001.Junk older than 1 days expiring messages in user.test1001.Sent Items older than 1 days expiring messages in user.test1001.Trash older than 1 days expiring messages in user.test1001.confirmed-ham older than 1 days expiring messages in user.test1001.confirmed-spam older than 1 days expiring messages in user.test1001.subfolder older than 1 days expiring messages in user.test1001.subfolder.subsubfolder older than 1 days expiring messages in user.test1001.subfolder.subsubfolder.subsubsubfolder older than 1 days In the cyr_expire manpage I read: [...] The value of the /vendor/cmu/cyrus-imapd/expire annotation is inherited by all children of the given mailbox, so an entire mailbox tree can be expired by seting a single annotation on the root of that tree. If a mailbox does not have a /vendor/cmu/cyrus-imapd/expire annotation set on it (or does not inherit then no messages are expired from the mailbox. [...] I found no further resources describing how to achieve what I want.

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.

OK Completed But that does not work: 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). $ su - cyrus -c '/usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/cyr_expire -E 3 -v' expiring messages in user.test1001 older than 1 days expiring messages in user.test1001.Drafts older than 1 days expiring messages in user.test1001.Junk older than 1 days expiring messages in user.test1001.Sent Items older than 1 days expiring messages in user.test1001.Trash older than 1 days expiring messages in user.test1001.confirmed-ham older than 1 days expiring messages in user.test1001.confirmed-spam older than 1 days expiring messages in user.test1001.subfolder older than 1 days expiring messages in user.test1001.subfolder.subsubfolder older than 1 days expiring messages in user.test1001.subfolder.subsubfolder.subsubsubfolder older than 1 days In the cyr_expire manpage I read: [...] The value of the /vendor/cmu/cyrus-imapd/expire annotation is inherited by all children of the given mailbox, so an entire mailbox tree can be expired by seting a single annotation on the root of that tree.

No. Instead I wrote a patch for ipurge to accept a regex pattern to include or NOT to include folders matching that pattern.
