I have the following in 15-mailboxes.config:
mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash autoexpunge = 30 days }
I thought that would empty the deleted emails after 30 days. However, I find that in .Deleted Messages/cur there are over 18K messages dating back to the 90's. What do I need to set to make the autoexpunge work?
Autoexpunge only works if the mailbox is accessed.
My Deleted Messages mailbox has been accessed virtually every day for many years. Still had lots from the late 90's in it.
