Good evening, While working with Dovecot 1.2rc4 on Fedora 10, I have been trying to get the Expire plug-in to auto delete messages for us.

When I run the plug-in with the test flag, I receive the following message: /usr/local/sbin/dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/expire-tool --test Info: amy@example.com/Trash: stop, expire time in future: 1242953758

All messages were deleted before the expire plug-in was added.

I understand that dovecot will only expire messages after they have been in the trash or junk longer then the time in dovecot.conf. So I have let this fail since Monday, but continue to receive the same error.

A quick grep for expire from my Dovecot logs doesn't show any output.

Also, when I look up this error on google, I see other peaple who's output shows a real date (not 1242953758), how do I know when this date is?

Thanks -Matt
