Sounds like a feature for Perl and a cron job to me. > I use IMAPS, I currently have about 100Mb of mail..

Someone already wrote spme Perl (imapsync), the man page even has a list of similar tools, but I think imapsync will be sufficient. Do back everything up before you try and work out the right options (probably something like minage/delete and some a regexp of "*"). Although it assumes you want to run a local IMAP server, which to be sure to avoid data loss (i.e. preserve all flags etc) you probably do. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
