Hello.

I would like to see the differnces between the expire plugin and a
cronjob which make a find/delete. Is there performances differences? What's the best to use?

find will go through all mailboxes while expire goes through only
those mailboxes that actually have messages that need to be deleted.

I use dovecot 1.1.8. Is expire plugin update the maildirsize and
other indexes files?

Yes. And find/delete doesn't of course.
