Empty an emailbox
The ability to empty a users emailbox without deleting the account and recreating would be great.
We are glad to inform you that with Plesk Obsidian 18.0.65 we added the ability to quickly empty mailboxes of all mail to the “Mail Accounts” page. The Empty Mailbox button enables users to remove all mail, both incoming and outgoing, from one or more mailboxes with a click.

Whatever helps me to clean the mailboxes from the users would be welcome. They don't care of their mailboxes , just thinking that they can be used unlimited .

very important, most of the email account holders only use them periodically, so sending them a message to clear their inbox might not work out soonest. Some might not know how to. It would be much easier to deal with it from my own end

Please add functionality to delete all email for the domain or all domains in a bulk. For example, email which is older than 1 week.

Yup. In my case, my clients like to forward one@ to two@, and never wind up deleting (or even logging into) one@, But it's a full fledged mailbox for accountability and record-keeping purposes. No matter how big it is, it fills up. Would be great to have any convenient way of deleting from it, scheduled or otherwise.

Same Igor conment: It would be a great feature if you can select 1 or many mailboxes and clean them based on time (emails older than 1 year, 6 months, 3 months, 1 month... etc) and even greater if it could be scheduled.

DirectAdmin, for example, has this feature.

Hi
My apologise if I have read this wrong and you are looking for something different but we have a Scheduled task setup to run the 1st of each month that deletes all emails within a domain that are older than 30 days (gives time for customers to download their emails if haven’t already) as not all our clients set their mail client to delete emails on collection and space was filling up fast and we used to delete manually via webmail but since adding this task it works great.
We used the below if it is any help, just replace the domain-here with your customer’s domain name or email address.
find /var/qmail/mailnames/domain-here/*/*/cur -type f -mtime +30 -exec rm {} \;

What do you mean 'would be great'?? This shouldn't even be a question!

auto purge mailbox in user's preferred days duration (default 14 days) but allow user to delete from 0 day to 30 days.
This is mostly required because most of the end users are really unaware what is PURGE and how to do it.
also, when we ask them to go to webmail, go to "options" they always click on the "Options" on the top bar and not the option on the right side for mail purge.
1. My suggestion would be: Make the purge option to Auto 14 days and let user set the duration as well. If user sets 0 then no BIN feature, mail will be deleted permanently / instantly. and if user want it to use this feature, set the auto purge to maximum 30 days or allow user to turn the auto purge feature to OFF.
2. Rename the purge mailbox to: "Empty Trash Bin"
3. Rename either the top bar option or right side option which contains link to Purge.
