You're right, I've used the --test parameter to see what's going on.

I have folders containing messages which have been moved there -- either
by the sieve plugin or manually in Thunderbird -- days or even weeks ago.
The messages are not removed even with an expire time of "somefolder 1".

So far, I thought that the expire plugin stops when the first "expire
time in future" ist detected, but if I understand you correctly, this
message implicitely means that there are no more messages at all to be
expired?

What can I do to find out why some folders don't seem to be processed by
the expire plugin? Is there any debugging/logging data I can look into?
