where am I going wrong ?

nothing gets removed:

# pwd
/var/mail/vhosts/sbt.net.au/spam at sbt.net.au/.spam/cur
# ls | wc
    532     532   30884
# doveadm expunge -u spam at sbt.net.au  mailbox spam savedbefore 7day
# ls | wc
    532     532   30884
# doveadm expunge -u spam at sbt.net.au  mailbox spam savedbefore 7d
# ls | wc
