Yes, I know about doveadm expunge.

I am searching for a search_query which only matches messages with the
flag \Deleted whose flag has been set 24h or longer ago.

Doing something like

  doveadm expunge -A mailbox \* DELETED

is not the solution, since it will expunge all deleted mails without
looking at the time when they have been deleted.

Using savedbefore does not work either, since a message may have been
saved 2 years ago but only recently deleted.

Sven.
