Re: [Dovecot] expire-tool stops on first box with nothing to expire in it

When I run for example:
doveadm -D search -A mailbox Trash savedbefore 60d > /tmp/discard
I previously observed that the "date.saved" field (tested by savedbefore) seems to be clustered around particular timestamps.
Dumping out this field using
doveadm -ftab fetch -A \
"mailbox date.saved" \
\( mailbox Trash OR mailbox Junk OR mailbox "Deleted Items" \)it seems the timestamps do not actually correspond to when the client moves messages to their trash folder, but rather, to the time I query for it i.e. a query instantiates this value. This timestamp is then retained.
In practice, if this query is done on a periodic interval (e.g. daily), the date.saved will be roughly correct, and is usable as an age test for expungement.
Is there a way to force this value to be cached when the client actually saves or moves a message?

Done for save: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.1/rev/c598f76eeeed
Fixed copy: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.1/rev/b13b8267999d
It still doesn't add it to cache if it's not already cached in both the source and destination mailbox, but usually it should be after initial doveadm run.
