[Dovecot] MailDIR and expire plugin
All of the mailboxes on this system are in MailDIR format. None of the users delete mail off of the server after POPing their accounts. This is the present setting:
expire = Trash 7 Spam 30 expire_dict = proxy::expire
Is that correct for MailDIR style mailboxes? It doesn't appear correct; however, I have not been able to find any specific documentation on expire with MailDIR style mailboxes. I am assuming that the expire plugin will work since IMAP has not been implemented on this server.

The configuration is the same for maildir and everything else.
It doesn't appear correct;
Why?
Anyway, the important part is what does your namespace configuration look like? Post your dovecot -n output.

Maybe I am looking at it wrong. I have checked the SQL entries, and nothing is ever entered into them. Shouldn't there be or does that not occur until after the number of days, in my case 7, occurs?
I have this entered into CRON, and I checked and it being run.
@midnight /usr/local/sbin/dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/expire-tool
I have used the "test" mode also; without any output.

Hmm. Maybe I misunderstood what you mean. What exactly is it that you want? You have only POP3 users, which only have their INBOX? So they don't really have any Trash or Spam folders? And you just want to delete old mails from their INBOX? In that case, use something like:
expire = INBOX 30

Now that makes more sense. I thought it might be something like that; however, I could not find any definitive documentation on it.
