If messages are expunged,
- is the \Deleted flag cleared?
- is there still information registered in what folder/mailbox the message was?
I thought about searching like this,
doveadm -o namespace/inbox/location=mdbox_deleted:/home/popusers/testtest/mdbox -o mail_location=mdbox_deleted:/home/popusers/testtest/mdbox:INDEX=/home/popindex/testtest/index search -u testtest mailbox '*' DELETED
but also does not do anything.
Maybe related to the older 2.2? Using dovecot-2.2.36-8.el7.x86_64

Is there an equivalent for expunged messages of this:
doveadm search -u testtest mailbox '*' DELETED
DELETED = "Message has flag \Deleted"
So no. If the message is actually expunged, and you have not ran
doveadm purge, it should be found under the mdbox_deleted driver.I am not sure what you are doing wrong.
