Hi,

Do I understand correctly that this patch looks at the modification time of a file for the 28 days period? So this would not help if me if my mail from 2000 gets deleted from the origin, i'm at my softlimit and housekeeping is ran (which will delete my mail instantly, making boxbackup close to useless for me now).

Best,

Tom Albers
