Three questions about Cyrus::IMAP::Admin:
I am using Cyrus::IMAP::Admin for a script to archive mailboxes. It
should rename <mailbox> to <mailbox>.Archives.<date><integer>.
1). How does one list mailboxes which _don't_ contain ".Archives."?
It's one thing to list those that _do_:
----
my @mailboxes = $connection->list "*.Archives.*";
----
But I've been over the IMAP RFC and Cyrus documentation and can't find
how to put negation in a pattern.
2). How does one test whether a mailbox exists? I want to do something
like:
----
my $integer = 0;
while (exists "$mailbox.Archives.$date$integer") {
$integer++;
}
---
3). How does one test whether a mailbox is empty? I want to do
something like:
----
if (! empty $mailbox) {
$connection->rename $mailbox "$mailbox.Archives.$date$integer";
}
----
As an extension, how does one test the size of a mailbox? Instead of
"if (! empty $mailbox) ...", it might be useful to test "if (size
$mailbox > $limit) ..."
Thank you very much for any help or suggestions!
Jack
