Hi
I have done some test.
If I use a webmail as roundcube to read mail mails, when I erase a
mail from Inbox and after that from trash.the command.
/usr/local/dovecot/bin/doveadm dump
/var/vmail1/example.org/user/mdbox/storage/|grep 'ref.*\b0\b'
show mail with ref count=0

 - ext 3 ref       :          0 (0000)
 - ext 3 ref       :          0 (0000)
 - ext 3 ref       :          0 (0000)
 - ext 3 ref       :          0 (0000)
 - ext 3 ref       :          0 (0000)
 - ext 3 ref       :          0 (0000)
 - ext 3 ref       :          0 (0000)
 - ext 3 ref       :          0 (0000)
 - ext 3 ref       :          0 (0000)
 - ext 3 ref       :          0 (0000)
 - ext 3 ref       :          0 (0000)
 - ext 3 ref       :          0 (0000)
 - ext 3 ref       :          0 (0000)

But if I erase mail from Mozilla Thunderbird then I find no mail with
ref count=0 and doveadm purge does nothing.

It is strange I thought thunderbird was a good mail client. My
thunderbird is up to date.

Thanks
