Courier IMAP and auto deleting trash after 7 days

[Noturns]

I'm trying to find Courier IMAP config: /etc/courier/imapd
because i would like to edit the parameters for the trash folder (see qoute and link below)

The file on my server is not there. I did some grep and locate commands and was unable to find it.

##NAME: IMAP_EMPTYTRASH:0
#
# The following setting is optional, and causes messages from the given
# folder to be automatically deleted after the given number of days.
# IMAP_EMPTYTRASH is a comma-separated list of folder:days. The default
# setting, below, purges 7 day old messages from the Trash folder.
# Another useful setting would be:
#
# IMAP_EMPTYTRASH=Trash:7,Sent:30
#
# This would also delete messages from the Sent folder (presumably copies
# of sent mail) after 30 days. This is a global setting that is applied to
# every mail account, and is probably useful in a controlled, corporate
# environment.
#
# Important: the purging is controlled by CTIME, not MTIME (the file time
# as shown by ls). It is perfectly ordinary to see stuff in Trash that's
# a year old. That's the file modification time, MTIME, that's displayed.
# This is generally when the message was originally delivered to this
# mailbox. Purging is controlled by a different timestamp, CTIME, which is
# changed when the file is moved to the Trash folder (and at other times too).
#
# You might want to disable this setting in certain situations - it results
# in a stat() of every file in each folder, at login and logout.

IMAP_EMPTYTRASH=Trash:7
