imap cache directory not expiring files in Zimbra 7.1

[j.eason]

Our mailbox servers don't seem to be clearing out imap cache files from /opt/zimbra/data/mailboxd/imap/cache. One has over 450,000 files in that directory (about 50G worth). Most of the files are months old.

Is this a bug? Anybody have a fix for it?

Alternately, has anyone deleted the cache .i4c files?

there is a cron job to take care of this in 7.1.4. I think it just deletes files over a certain age, but don't quote me on this. I'd eiter upgrade, or do a dummy install on a test box and copy the cron job to your production machine

Thanks bdial!

The cron job in 7.1.4 is:

# Delete old imap cache files
5 */2 * * * find /opt/zimbra/data/mailboxd/imap/cache -type f -mtime +7 -exec rm -f {} \; > /dev/null 2>&1
