I thought that expunging messages would only work on messages flagged as deleted. Just being in the Deleted Messages folder would not necessarily mark the messages with the deleted flag. Or does the auto expunge feature work differently than I expect it to?

I have the following in 15-mailboxes.config: mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash autoexpunge = 30 days } I thought that would empty the deleted emails after 30 days. However, I find that in .Deleted Messages/cur there are over 18K messages dating back to the 90's. What do I need to set to make the autoexpunge work?
Try changing '30 days' to '30d' and see if that makes a difference.
