Thanks Timo - that's what I was missing.

Another thing - will it ever be possible to wildcard *all* mailboxes?

My setup doesn't specify prefix = INBOX/ on "namespace inbox"... without 
knowing all of the root mailboxes users have created is it possible to 
autoexpunge these?

This obviously does not work
=namespace/inbox/mailbox/\s*/autoexpunge=90d
