How do I do that? From cyr_expire manpage:

"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 one), then no messages are expired from the
mailbox."

Is this correct?

setannotation "user.myuser"
"/vendor/cmu/cyrus-imapd/expire" ("value.shared" "0")

But is it possible to expunge a message immediately when it's deleted by
client and not with the next expire run?
