Hello Sam,

What are the reasons for using ctime instead of mtime for autopurge stuff in your webmail?

mtime can be manipulated by an IMAP client.

Hi Sam,

Hm. Is it a only one reason? I ask a question, because it seems that IMAP client can change also ctime, for example while looking for the new messages in the folder.

You forget one little detail -- mtime can be set to anything the client wants, so by setting it to a ten year old date, the message can get purged immediately.

ctime, on the other hand, can only be set to the current time.
