dovecot 2.2.33.2 (d6601f4ec) on Ubuntu 18.04
The recent announcement that expunge is going to be deprecated and that autoexpunge should be used instead reminded me that my recent switch over to autoexpunge is not working.
There has been an active discussion today about getting expunge working so I thought I'd use the commands suggested there to figure out why autoexpunge might not be doing anything.
"doveadm search -u local-finance-support mailbox INBOX savedbefore 12w" returns nothing even though the first email for that user is dated November 12th 2019.
Using the message ID for that first email, I then tried this:
doveadm search -u local-finance-support HEADER MESSAGE-ID "CAHgKB_f5ttC3kLgxgZiNzwyySvUfb-NXodqZ7K3+dkHKCOUwhg@mail.gmail.com"
f55e9737e270c2564d1a0000e171d23e 37
then
doveadm fetch -u local-finance-support "mailbox date.saved" UID 37
mailbox: INBOX date.saved: 2020-03-17 14:34:12
Why on earth is dovecot showing today's date for that message? What have I misunderstood or misconfigured?

Philip
