another try listing expunged mail, now only tested with dovecot cli

testing with expunging messages with subject "delete me"

this is the correct commend to list expunged messages?

[@ testtest]# doveadm -o mail_location=mdbox_deleted:/home/popusers/testtest/mdbox:INDEX=/home/popindex/testtest/index mailbox status -u testtest 'messages vsize' '*'
Sent messages=0 vsize=0
Drafts messages=0 vsize=0
INBOX/test2 messages=0 vsize=0
Junk messages=0 vsize=0
Trash messages=0 vsize=0
test3 messages=0 vsize=0
test1 messages=0 vsize=0
INBOX messages=0 vsize=0


We have a few messages with subject 'delete me' in the inbox namespace

[@ ~]# doveadm search -u testtest mailbox test1 subject 'delete me' | wc -l
4
[@ ~]# doveadm search -u testtest mailbox INBOX/test2 subject 'delete me' | wc -l
2
[@ ~]# doveadm search -u testtest mailbox test3 subject 'delete me' | wc -l
8


Disk space used

[@ testtest]# du -s -k /home/popusers/testtest/mdbox/storage/
135356  /home/popusers/testtest/mdbox/storage/

Ok lets expunge some emails

[@ testtest]# doveadm expunge -u testtest mailbox test1 subject 'delete me'
doveadm(testtest): Info: expunge: box=test1, msgid=<202011052050.0A5Ko7Jc005461 at web01.xxxxxx.xxxx>
doveadm(testtest): Info: expunge: box=test1, msgid=<202011052050.0A5Ko7Jc005461 at web01.xxxxxx.xxxx>

doveadm(testtest): Info: expunge: box=test1, msgid=<202011052050.0A5Ko7Jc005461 at web01.xxxxxx.xxxx>

[@ testtest]# doveadm expunge -u testtest mailbox INBOX/test2 subject 'delete me'
doveadm(testtest): Info: expunge: box=INBOX/test2, msgid=<202011052050.0A5Ko7Jc005461 at web01.xxxxxx.xxxx>
doveadm(testtest): Info: expunge: box=INBOX/test2, msgid=<202011052050.0A5Ko7Jc005461 at web01.xxxxxx.xxxx>

[@ testtest]# doveadm expunge -u testtest mailbox test3 subject 'delete me'
doveadm(testtest): Info: expunge: box=test3, msgid=<202011052050.0A5Ko7Jc005461 at web01.xxxxxx.xxxx>
doveadm(testtest): Info: expunge: box=test3, msgid=<202011052050.0A5Ko7Jc005461 at web01.xxxxxx.xxxx>
doveadm(testtest): Info: expunge: box=test3, msgid=<202011052050.0A5Ko7Jc005461 at web01.xxxxxx.xxxx>

Looks like the correct amount of messages are deleted

[@ testtest]# du -s -k /home/popusers/testtest/mdbox/storage/
135356  /home/popusers/testtest/mdbox/storage/

Lets check the expunged mail, again still everywhere 0

[@ testtest]# doveadm -o mail_location=mdbox_deleted:/home/popusers/testtest/mdbox:INDEX=/home/popindex/testtest/index mailbox status -u testtest 'messages vsize' '*'
Sent messages=0 vsize=0
Drafts messages=0 vsize=0
INBOX/test2 messages=0 vsize=0
Junk messages=0 vsize=0
Trash messages=0 vsize=0
test3 messages=0 vsize=0
test1 messages=0 vsize=0
INBOX messages=0 vsize=0


This does not return any messages, so they were expunged.

[@ testtest]# doveadm search -u testtest  mailbox test3 subject 'delete me'

How can I get the amount of messages expunged in the folders? I do not get it.
