Bug 3092 is about changing a commandline parameter (-F to -M).

Thank you, then I will use this hack... Btw: Searching the list I found: <http://asg.andrew.cmu.edu/archive/message.php?mailbox=archive.info-cyrus&msg=29967> "> mboxcfg user.someuser.spam expire 7 This is what I use for my user's SPAM folders and for my newsgroup folders, but you need to keep in mind that the /expire annotation is inherited by children unless told otherwise." ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Is your hack the way to do this or do I miss something?
