Thanks. I knew the version was old but I wasn't quite ready for the 
upgrade. Anyway, I got ready, sat down and upgraded to 2.1.8 this 
weekend and have it all running again now.

Expiring however still behaves the same as far as I can tell. The output 
is different now using doveadm but the behavior seems the same or at 
least very similar.

When I run for example:

doveadm -D search -A mailbox Trash savedbefore 60d > /tmp/discard (the > 
/tmp/discard is only there to send all the listed messages into the file 
to make the output more comprehensive)

the results always end in something like:

doveadm(user at domain.org): Debug: expire: Stopping iteration on key 
shared/expire/nextuser at domain.org/Trash (1340238662 > 1337415398)

If I use different savedbefore values, it stops in different places, but 
always the same with the same value.

If I set the value way down to 3 it only goes through about 70 boxes 
before it stops. Yet there are over 1000 in the expire database.

And if I run the same command on a specific user (one that's not in the 
result set of -A) rather than -A I do get a list of messages. So there 
are definitely users with messages that should be returned as part of 
this but are not.

Any ideas on what's wrong? Just in case my doveconf -n is below.
