It looks like you can do it in Icedove (Thunderbird). i've never tried it. Edit --> Folder Properties --> Retention Policy And then you can set it by number of messages or days or for messages that have been read.

Automatically deleting old email

by Clint Moyer

Is it possible in Evolution (or another email client) to configure messages to be deleted after a specified period without manual intervention? I have a few folders set for mailing lists and shopping offers, but the contents are irrelevant after a few days. I'd like to be able to set up each folder to delete messages older than seven days, for example. Thanks.

Re: [Wlug] Samba config help

although I love money, I bet we can solve this via email. You can email me the money if you want. You have 1 CentOS server on it with data you want to share to your Windows machines? If you create the share in /etc/samba/smb.conf, create a few users on CentOS and run some samba-add(?) commands you should be all set. if you are talking about having the Windows users log into Windows machines with LDAP accounts that live on the CentOS box, that's a different story. ________________________________ From: Pete Wason <codevark(a)aim.com> To: wlug(a)mail.wlug.org Sent: Thursday, October 30, 2008 10:54:33 AM Subject: [Wlug] Samba config help I wil PAY someone to come to my house and help me configure Samba on my CentOS server.
