[Dovecot] 1.2.beta1: expire-tool and 'mail_location' setting

[e-frog]

Hi Timo,

Trying 1.2.beta1 with expire plugin currently:
When I set mail_location = maildir:~/.maildir the expire plugin doesn't delete messages.

#: expire-tool --test
Info: auth input: system_user=foo
Info: auth input: uid=1000
Info: auth input: gid=1000
Info: auth input: home=/home/foo
Info: foo/Trash: no messages left

I also noticed that above command creates a new but empty directory 'mail' in user's home dir.


However using mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir and of course moving the messages to it works.

#: expire-tool --test
Info: auth input: system_user=foo
Info: auth input: uid=1000
Info: auth input: gid=1000
Info: auth input: home=/home/foo
Info: foo/Trash: seq=1 uid=4078: Expunge
  .
  .
Info: foo/Trash: seq=100 uid=4178: Expunge
Info: foo/Trash: seq=101 uid=4179: Expunge
Info: foo/Trash: timestamp 1235292536 -> 1235325429

My guess is that mail_location is not respected by expire-tool for some reason and in second
case mailbox auto-detection makes it working?

Thanks,
e-frog
