testing with expunging messages with subject "delete me" this is the correct commend to list expunged messages?

I am trying to have mail from several shared mailboxes show up in a user's INBOX if they are unread or younger than 24h, using the filter "or (unseen) (all younger 86400)". This works when forcing dovecot to regenerate index files, as mentioned above, by adding spaces to the virtual Inbox config file. Otherwise, mail older than 24h is not removed from the virtual INBOX. Any help would be greatly appreciated :) namespace configuration: namespace lists { list = children location = maildir:/var/mail/lists:CONTROL=~/Maildir/lists:INDEX=~/Maildir/lists prefix = lists. separator = . subscriptions = no type = public } namespace real { hidden = yes list = no location = prefix = RealMails. separator = . } namespace vimap { hidden = yes list = no location = virtual:/var/mail/virtual/vimap:INDEX=~/Maildir/vimap prefix = vimap. separator = . } /var/mail/virtual/vimap: !RealMails all lists.* or (unseen) (all younger 86400) dovecot version: # 2.3.4.1 (f79e8e7e4) # Pigeonhole version 0.5.4 () # OS: Linux 4.19.0-14-amd64 x86_64 Debian 10.8 -Joe

dovecot.map.index corrupted: Unexpectedly lost INBOX uid=1 map_uid=4726

I had in my archive namespace[1] an INBOX folder and did not really get why it was there so I deleted it. Now this command generates map index error (doveadm force-resync does not fix it ;)) [@ ~]# doveadm -o namespace/4archives/location=mdbox_deleted:/home/mail-archive/testtest/mdbox/Archive -o mail_location=mdbox_deleted:/home/mail-archive/testtest/mdbox/Archive:INDEX=/home/archiveindex/testtest/index mailbox status -u testtest 'messages vsize' 'INBOX' doveadm(testtest): Error: mdbox map /home/archiveindex/testtest/index/storage/dovecot.map.index corrupted: Unexpectedly lost INBOX uid=1 map_uid=4726 doveadm(testtest): Error: Mailbox INBOX: Failed to lookup mailbox status: mdbox map /home/archiveindex/testtest/index/storage/dovecot.map.index corrupted: Unexpectedly lost INBOX uid=1 map_uid=4726 [1] namespace 4archives { disabled = no hidden = no ignore_on_failure = no inbox = no list = yes location = mdbox:/home/mail-archive/%u/Archive/:CONTROL=/home/mail-archive/%u/Archive/control:INDEX=/home/archiveindex/%u/index mailbox Archive { auto = create autoexpunge = 0 autoexpunge_max_mails = 0 comment = driver = special_use = \Archive } mailbox "Archived mail" { auto = no autoexpunge = 0 autoexpunge_max_mails = 0 comment = driver = special_use = \Archive } mailbox "Archived messages" { auto = no autoexpunge = 0 autoexpunge_max_mails = 0 comment = driver = special_use = \Archive } ... ... mailbox Archives { auto = no autoexpunge = 0 autoexpunge_max_mails = 0 comment = driver = special_use = \Archive } order = 0 prefix = Archive/ separator = / subscriptions = yes type = private }

how to reclaim disk space mdbox
by Marc 15 Mar '21

15 Mar '21

When I delete messages in the archive namespace they are copied to the deleted items folder in the inbox namespace. This is 34MB increase is visible however I expected the archive to go down by 34MB. Is diskspace reclaimed automatically or do you need to issue an command? [@ sbin]# du -s -k /home/popusers/testtest /home/mail-archive/testtest 135472 /home/popusers/testtest 358824 /home/mail-archive/testtest [@ sbin]# du -s -k /home/popusers/testtest /home/mail-archive/testtest 169368 /home/popusers/testtest 358824 /home/mail-archive/testtest PS. I have mdbox_rotate_size = 4 M

Doveadm-Purge dry run

Maybe it is nice to introduce some option to Doveadm-Purge that does not delete anything just logs what it wanted to delete sort of like rsync's -n option.

These commands should generate different output not?
