However, the combination of sieve and expire does not seem to be working: When sieve moves messages into a folder, no entry is created in the database. Don't these plugins work together, or did I misconfigure something? If you didn't yet find out: lda: mail_plugins: expire mail_plugins: sieve The second mail_plugins setting overrides the first one. Use: mail_plugins = expire sieve
Thanks, this works to the extent that dates are now written into the database when mails are moved by sieve filters. What doesn't work (and I spent the last weeks testing and googling, hence my late reply) is the deletion of expired mails. When an expiration date occurs, the database is updated, but nothing is deleted.
I have implemented a test with a 1 day expiry. Dates get updated, nothing is deleted. Output of expire tool:

Is this an issue with the mail_location setting? I know the wiki says something about a userdb lookup returning the mail location, but, frankly, I'm not sure what that's supposed to say...
Thanks.
