I'm new to Dovecot. I've seen a few examples on the internet like this and I am wondering what is the advantage of this format of the command over one of these:
doveadm expunge -u <user> mailbox Trash before 14d
doveadm expunge -u <user> mailbox Trash before 2w
It seems relatively complicated to manipulate date strings compared to using d or w operators.
