Actually, the plugin you are looking for is named Expire, but it does 
not work with the current Dovecot version.  You need the CVS head 
version, which I do not believe is recommended for use in production. 
The Trash plugin is completely separate.

The Expire plugin is currently only mentioned in the Wiki in a paragraph 
at the bottom of the Lazy Expunge plugin.  For some documentation on its 
use, see:
