hi all,

thanks! the proxyservers option is working great -- with one login, i am able to use imapfilter to groom all account/folders of old messages ...

cheers

Mayak,
If that is your purpose, you may be much better served by simply using mailbox annotations and the built-in expiration system.

For example, a client of ours uses this script as a daily cronjob to make sure the proper annotations are set on all desired mailboxes:

#!/bin/sh
#
# set_cyrus_annotations.sh - Set the standard annotations for the Spam,
#                            Trash and systems mailbvoxes so they expire
#                            properly.
#
USER="cyradmin"
PASS="password"
HOST="localhost"

cyradm -u $USER -w "$PASS" $HOST << _EOF_
mboxcfg systems expire 60
mboxcfg user.%.Spam expire 7
mboxcfg user.%.Trash expire 2
_EOF_

The normal expiration mechanisms (cyr_expire in cyrus.conf) of Cyrus will then clean up those mailboxes on the desired schedule.  The biggest advantage is that this all happens local to the server, without tying up network resources with protocol discussions, local processing, etc.

Cheers,
