Bug#752882: cyrus-common-2.2: ipurge should have --dry-run option

[Vladislav Kurz]

Package: cyrus-common-2.2
Version: 2.2.13-19+squeeze3
Severity: wishlist

Hi all,

I have found utility ipurge, and want to use it for regular
cleanup of trash and junk mailboxes. However, I'm not quite
comfortable with the mailbox-pattern syntax. So I'd like to
have some way to check what will be deleted before running
the command. I think that this utility should have some
--dry-run option, or equivalent, to see how much damage it
is going to do.

Best regards
Vladislav Kurz

P.S. I have checked also version 2.4, it does not have such
option either.
