The expiration of messages is controlled by the \fB/vendor/cmu/cyrus-imapd/expire\fR mailbox annotation which specifies the age (in days) of messages in the given mailbox that should be deleted. Any duplicate delivery database entries which correspond to the mailbox are also deleted at the same frequency. .br .sp The value of the \fB/vendor/cmu/cyrus-imapd/expire\fR 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 \fB/vendor/cmu/cyrus-imapd/expire\fR annotation set on it (or does not inherit one), then no messages are expired from the mailbox. .PP .I Cyr_expire reads its configuration options out of the .IR imapd.conf (5) file unless specified otherwise by \fB-C\fR. .SH OPTIONS .TP .BI \-C " config-file" Read configuration options from \fIconfig-file\fR. .TP \fB\-E \fIdays\fR Prune the duplicate database of entries older than \fIdays\fR. This value is only used for entries which do not have a corresponding \fB/vendor/cmu/cyrus-imapd/expire\fR mailbox annotation. .TP .B \-v Enable verbose output. .SH FILES .TP .B /etc/imapd.conf .SH SEE ALSO .PP \fBimapd.conf(5)\fR, \fBmaster(8)\fR
