- Spider doesn't allow message removal manually, have to wait until it expired the retention period you set in "Settings -> Retention" page as admin, e.g. 10 years.

Apologies, I didn't explain myself very well. It's not the import of existing messages using spider-import I'm having problems with. It's the ongoing archiving of new messages as they are received by the mail server using the always_bcc parameter in Postfix. I guess it's not possible for this parameter to be selective, but is there a way to instruct Spider Email Archiver not to archive messages from certain folders like the junk folder or to be able to delete them from the archive?

Regards, Steve.

Spider supports importing from certain folders with (one or more) "--imap-folder" argument, but doesn't support excluding folders yet, we will implement this in next release.

- iRedMail version (check /etc/iredmail-release):
- Deployed with iRedMail Easy or the downloadable installer?
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version:
- Store mail accounts in which backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL):
- Web server (Apache or Nginx):
- Manage mail accounts with iRedAdmin-Pro?
- [IMPORTANT] Related original log or error message is required if you're experiencing an issue.

When importing existing messages using the spider-import command it's possible to choose which IMAP folders to import messages from using the --imap-folder argument. However, is it possible to specify which IMAP folders new messages should or shouldn't be archived from?

I ask because new messages in the junk folder are being archived. In addition, it doesn't seem possible to delete messages from the archive, only download as .eml or restore them.

I don't want an ever increasing number of archived junk messages, so am I missing something or is this functionality planned for a future release?

Thanks, Steve.
