I have configured autoexpunge on some folders:
namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Junk { auto = subscribe autoexpunge = 30 days special_use = \Junk } mailbox Trash { auto = subscribe autoexpunge = 2 weeks special_use = \Trash } prefix = separator = / }
After adding these and restarting, logging in and out several times, I still see messages days/weeks past the autoexpunge setting. I checked the logs but never see any autoexpunge messages logged. Is there something else that needs to be set to trigger this?

Hi Robert,
the autoexpunge feature only removes mails wich have the \Delete Flag so no deletion of mails wich doesn't have this Flag(see https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4315#section-2.1 or http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Doveadm/Expunge)
you could run a cron job with a doveadm move comando to move the mail to an othe mailbox (see http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Doveadm/Move)

Ok, but that’s not how the documentation for expire or this features reads. According to the docs it’s based off the “saved timestamp”, not a deleted flag? So it’s based off “saved timestamp” *and* deleted flag?

Are any errors logged in "doveadm log errors"? Could you post your complete output of doveconf -n please.

That’s what I thought. If I run expunge from doveadm manually, it will work as expected. I just never seem to get autoexpunge to fire.
Looking in the logs, I see no errors:

..
mailbox Trash { auto = subscribe autoexpunge = 2 weeks special_use = \Trash }
So this keeps finding mails that aren't being automatically deleted? (You were testing with savedbefore, right?) :
doveadm search -u user@domain mailbox Trash savedbefore 2w
If that works, try if it happens to work with mailbox_list_index=no? Maybe the index somehow got messed up. If that works, send the output of:
doveadm dump /path/to/Maildir/dovecot.list.index
The dump includes folder names, so maybe send it privately.

Thanks Timo! I will certainly try tracking things down with the suggested outputs and see if I can get more info.
On a side note regarding doveadm…
If we have two or more servers, doveadm can be executed and run on any one of the servers and things run fine. If you want to install dovecot (doveadm) on another server to be able to get information (like the commands above) from a tertiary server, is that possible? I’m just wondering if doveadm runs directly on the server with access to the maildirs and config files or if it somehow talks over a socket to the actual dovecot mail servers.
TIA
