it doesn't do anything (especially not deleting e-mails). Obviously, in stef/Trash and stef/Spam, there are e-mails waiting to be deleted.
It doesn't go by the email date, it goes by the date/time the email was moved into that folder.
In other words, it won't effect emails that were *already* *in* the folder.
Personally, I'd love to see the tool have an option to go by the email date/time instead of when it was moved into the folder...
So in that case could you move them out and back again? I am considering using the plugin, but I'm still in the info gathering phase.
You only need to move one mail into the mailbox so that the mailbox gets added to the database. Once that mail gets expunged, all the other old existing mails get expunged along with it.
!? This isn't what you said when this was discussed earlier earlier:

Why this message? I have 3 mailboxes, and the message appears only with this mailbox. The 2 others mailbox have mails into Trash and Junk folders. And the mail are older than 2 days. An ls -lcs say it.
Dovecot tracks the timestamp when the message was copied to Trash, not necessary its ctime. So you probably copied the message to Trash on Feb 3 21:00:50, which is why it'll get expunged at Feb 4 21:00:50.
In a mailbox1, I have this into Junk/cur directory: 4 -rw------- 1 dovecot dovecot 3822 Feb 2 13:39 1233569469.M275631P48216.***.***.net,S=3822,W=3945:2,S 4 -rw------- 1 dovecot dovecot 3004 Feb 2 15:43 1233585799.M730005P46882.***.***.net,W=3078,S=3004:2,S 4 -rw------- 1 dovecot dovecot 3056 Feb 2 17:49 1233587786.M676156P51401.***.***.net,S=3056,W=3132:2,S 4 -rw------- 1 dovecot dovecot 3732 Feb 2 17:49 1233592892.M701994P52459.***.***.net,S=3732,W=3823:2,S
We are Feb 4, and these message are always here. No informations with mail_debug, or with --test parameter.These messages were arrived Feb 2, and they might have this date in dovecot.index.cache...
Was expire plugin enabled then? If it wasn't, it didn't add them to its database so it doesn't know about them.
... has this changed? Or am I seriosuly misunderstanding what you said? Or... you said 'the mailbox'... does this apply only to mbox files, or to maildirs too? Thanks for the clarification Timo... -- Best regards, Charles
