Re: Limiting Number of Message in INBOX

1997-12-05 08:10:08
I already know how the backup works to preserve last x messages in a
directory called messages, but I am looking to limit the INBOX to 50
messages.  Everything beyond this would be purge with FIFO (First In,
First Out) rules.  Can someone tell me how?

Why doing this?  We have an archive created where all message are stored
in date folder upon arrival, but people want ready access to last 50
messages only.

# Save Message in Current Date Folder
:0c:
`date +%b%y`

Thanks.
