Hello, 

based on the annotatemore plugin by Alexandros Vellis I developed a plugin to set the \
ANNOTATEMORE expire setting for mailboxes on the cyrus imapd server. 

This currently works for cyrus-imapd only and requires the ANNOTATEMORE extension of \
cyrus. If enabled it does two things: 

1) It adds a "Expiration Settings" link on the top of the right screen where you can \
set the expiration dates of folders.  2) It display the effective expiration settings \
of folders on the mail listing screen of the folder. 

As mentioned it currently only works with cyrus imapd and it has been tested with \
altnamespace on and off. It requires annotatemore to be installed (and a fix which \
will be included in the next release of annotatemore). The plugin annotatemore does \
not need to be enabled, just installed. 

What is it good for ? 

Basically a user can set, enable or disable the expiration settings of folders (for \
the cyr_expire server job). 

If you have a scenario with lots of accounts automatically created (e.g. university) \
but some the users do not use their e-mail account, the accounts fill up over the \
years taking up lots of space up to the quota maximum, which may be 1 GB or more. The \
policy in this case would be to automatically remove e-Mails in inbox, spam and junk \
after 90 days (cyr_expire). Users which use their e-Mail account can change or \
disable the automatic removal of e-mails on a folder basis with this plugin. 

Maybe this plugin is useful for others too. Can you add this plugin after review to \
the squirrelmail plugin list ? 

The plugin was tested using php 4.4.0, cyrus 2.2.12 (SuSE) and SquirrelMail 1.4.8. 

Regards,
Robert Heinzmann
