Compacting mailboxes...

[Forrest Aldrich]

We recently deployed Cyrus IMAPD on an internal corporate server.

We plan on using it for a larger installation (once I get comfortable 
with all the technical quirks ;-))

In any case, an issue was brought up whereby if a user doesn't "Compact" 
their mailbox (done via most common MUA's like Thunderbird) the deleted 
messages can linger - for however long.

I've personally seen this before.

I'm concerned about disk space consumption of these messages in-limbo.   
Is there some mechanism that can force a "compact" of the mailbox to 
remove these deleted messages - or is there another method to manage 
this scenario?


Thanks!
