Sounds like a plan!
Thanks, imapsync might be a plan, especially if I can rig that on a windows machine.
Think these are two of the more well known apps for managing imap accounts - sure there are others:
https://imapsync.lamiral.info/
https://github.com/lefcha/imapfilter
You could also possibly do a fancy bash script to find and delete files over X age.
eg

I don't delete anything. Storage is cheap.....
If I did I'd cold archive anything over say 10. You could use imapsync to a safe space and then back that up to a secure medium.
Others may have other thoughts!
Hi,
I'm looking at implementing a mail retention policy where we keep mail for x years. I've fully decided but as we're in the UK 7 years might be reasonable.
At the moment we have mail going back to 2013 so I need to a way to delete anything on the system prior a given date. Manually doing that in round cube looks to be a bit of a PITA.
Any suggestions on how to best do this ?
Also, if there are UK users I'd be interested in your take on retention policy.
As I said above - we want people to test and find issues. You do NOT have to be a developer. We want your time.
That is exactly what we need. Just users. Test the install and idly click around and try settings and see what breaks.
Just be a USER.
You do need to be methodical to test things work. Run a terminal so you can see the logs as they change. Make notes and write it up so we can check. But that is it. No code skills required. Just the ability to break stuff!!
No Beta til we are happy. The more we test the happier we will be.
We need help NOW so we can iron out the wrinkles for a Beta.
Quite a few changes so also an opportunity to have a look, test your restore new themes etc.
Talk to us on Rocket where you have an account - there are a few gotchas updating an Alpha we'll help you with.
*I am not a developer and only a common user of SME-SERVER, so apart from the initial installation and configuration of the servers, domains, firewalls and mail access, I could only do tests that you indicate me.
You should probably do
Install, reboot
Basic configure with network then update all, add contrib rpms, reboot
Check all ok
Console menu, restore
