New issue by hills on mblaze repository
https://github.com/leahneukirchen/mblaze/issues/236
Description:
I'm very pleased to have discovered mblaze, thank you.
I'd like to automate deletion of some old mails, but no such example is given in the docs.
If this is as simple as "xargs rm", or should it be "mflag -T"?
If I use the latter, is there an mblaze command to actually delete "trashed" mails?
Just a single example of the best practice in the docs would help.
I'm not saying a specific blaze command is needed, but one could have some safety checks. Waving "xargs rm" around makes me nervous...
In my cases, mails are served from Dovecot which keeps its own index, and therefore I'm assuming it's its own responsibility to deal with changes to the underlying Maildir.
