Is there are a way to do this?
Is there are a way to set a retention policy on the server as well? (only for a few folders, not the whole mailbox)

Thanks,

Yes, look at omtidyallu and omtidyu

How about people that actually use folders?

This is pretty useless, how do i specify non-default folders

Not exactly sure what you mean? Do you want to cleanup all non-default folders, a certain list of folders, all folders, or do you want something else.

Yes, I want to clean up folders othat than on that list. I have about 40 folders, some of them are filtered mail, which I am interesed to purge on a monthly basis. Doing this through outlook is painlessly slow.

You'll have to log this as an enhancement request on Scalix Bugzilla. The standard tools cannot do this. However, you could write a perl (or other) script that connect to the mailbox via IMAP and do the cleanup, if you know

I am still not exactly sure what you want. Do you have a list that you want to cleanup or do you have a list that you do not want to cleanup.

If you just want to clear down all folders underneath the "Filing cabinet" top-level folder, you could use the "-S" option in omtidyu

If you want to be selective, you can use the "-l" option.

-l may work, yeah, but it seems to only handle top-level folders. If you have a hierarchy going it may be harder to do. Probably the best approach, though.
