Hi I have done some test. If I use a webmail as roundcube to read mail mails, when I erase a mail from Inbox and after that from trash.the command. /usr/local/dovecot/bin/doveadm dump /var/vmail1/example.org/user/mdbox/storage/|grep 'ref.*\b0\b' show mail with ref count=0
- ext 3 ref : 0 (0000)
- ext 3 ref : 0 (0000)
- ext 3 ref : 0 (0000)
- ext 3 ref : 0 (0000)
- ext 3 ref : 0 (0000)
- ext 3 ref : 0 (0000)
- ext 3 ref : 0 (0000)
- ext 3 ref : 0 (0000)
- ext 3 ref : 0 (0000)
- ext 3 ref : 0 (0000)
- ext 3 ref : 0 (0000)
- ext 3 ref : 0 (0000)
- ext 3 ref : 0 (0000)
But if I erase mail from Mozilla Thunderbird then I find no mail with ref count=0 and doveadm purge does nothing.
It is strange I thought thunderbird was a good mail client. My thunderbird is up to date.
Thanks

OK, if man 1 doveadm-purge didn't work for you, run doveadm purge help.
You may check if there are some deleted mails in the mdbox: doveadm dump /path/2/mdbox/storage | egrep 'ext 3 ref\s+\:\s+0' -c If the printed count is greater then 0, there are deleted mails in the mdbox. Then you can delete them permanently with doveadm purge …
