Maybe you'll find this thread useful:
http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2008-October/034747.html
I already saw this. Unfortunately I do not understand the complete
reasoning.
If I'm right the thread basically says
- dovecot-expire should log something with mail-debug=yes.
(it doesn't in my case, other than "Module loaded:
/usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap/lib20_expire_plugin.so")
- hierarchy separator could be wrong
(cannot be my case as I have the folders directly in the user's mail
directory, no hierarchy there)
- messages might be too young
(The folders are older with messages that are weeks old and I want to
expire after 7 days. But if I understand it correctly, the expiry DB is
only built or touched on certain events, which ones would that be?
Adding a message to the folder? Or is it impossible to expire messages
present BEFORE expire plugin installation?)
Any hints?
