[Dovecot] expire plugin and sieve
Hi.
I am running dovecot 1.2.9 here, allowing users to filter their mails with the sieve plugin, and am using sieve to move mail tagged as probably spam into the spam folder.
I'm now looking to get the expire plugin working as well. It does work as described in the wiki: Once I manually move messages into other folders, the mysql database is filled with entries.
However, the combination of sieve and expire does not seem to be working: When sieve moves messages into a folder, no entry is created in the database. Don't these plugins work together, or did I misconfigure something?

If you didn't yet find out:
lda: mail_plugins: expire mail_plugins: sieve
The second mail_plugins setting overrides the first one. Use:
mail_plugins = expire sieve

Thanks, this works to the extent that dates are now written into the database when mails are moved by sieve filters. What doesn't work (and I spent the last weeks testing and googling, hence my late reply) is the deletion of expired mails. When an expiration date occurs, the database is updated, but nothing is deleted.
I have implemented a test with a 1 day expiry. Dates get updated, nothing is deleted. Output of expire tool:

Is this an issue with the mail_location setting? I know the wiki says something about a userdb lookup returning the mail location, but, frankly, I'm not sure what that's supposed to say...
Thanks.
