I am unable to find information about what happens to the index file if I use something like the cron script at the bottom of http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Expire
There must be some information in the index that is no longer needed. When and how will Dovecot clean this up?
When the mailbox is next opened by a client (or STATUS command issued).
A similar question is whether the expire plugin will help me at all, when it is only used for folders that receive new messages each day?
Will the expire-tool give me the index maintenance that I am looking for?
Do you mean that no clients would ever even see the messages? If you're using Dovecot's deliver they are also expunged.
