m using Dovecot 2.0 with only one lokal user, so its imho overkill to use mysql. plugin quota with flat file running fine.It's possible expire also running with flat file? What's syntax in dovecot.conf (expire = file:??? and expire_dict?)
I've never used the expire plugin. But if you want to remove only old mails from single account, I'd recommend a cronjob, which executes doveadm expunge …. See http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Doveadm/Expunge
Yeah, with a single user there's absolutely no point in even enabling expire plugin. It simply optimizes which users are gone through with doveadm expunge -A. Expire plugin is beginning to make sense only after you've thousands of users.
