Hello

Few questions regarding Doveadm-Expunge.

1.

I have lazy expunge configure with this name space: .EXPUNGED

Storage type: mdbox

doveadm -Dv expunge -u u...@domain mailbox ".EXPUNGED/*" savedbefore 7d

I get some interesting outputs.

doveadm(u...@domain): Debug: expunge: box=.EXPUNGED/INBOX/mon uid=791
doveadm(u...@domain): Debug: expunge: box=.EXPUNGED/INBOX/mon uid=792
doveadm(u...@domain): Debug: expunge: box=.EXPUNGED/INBOX/mon uid=793
....
doveadm(u...@domain): Info: expunge: box=INBOX/mon, uid=196,
msgid=<e1owjm4-0000j4...@domain>, size=1856
doveadm(u...@domain): Info: expunge: box=INBOX/mon, uid=197,
msgid=<e1owjmp-0000pr...@domain>, size=1756
doveadm(u...@domain): Info: expunge: box=INBOX/mon, uid=198,
msgid=<e1owjpp-0002hp...@domain>, size=1810
doveadm(u...@domain): Info: expunge: box=INBOX/mon, uid=199,
msgid=<e1owjqw-0002y7...@domain>, size=1766
doveadm(u...@domain): Info: expunge: box=INBOX/mon, uid=200,
msgid=<e1owjud-0004ba...@domain>, size=1890
...

So what is the diff between "Debug: expunge" and "Info: expunge".
Anything done to "Info: expunge"? I am assuming the "debug: expunge"
are the only entries with actions. And "Info: expunge" is not doing
anything. I ran doveadm purge -u u...@domain after. I did not notice
any missing emails. Sorry for the trivial question, I just want to
make sure not mail would disappear, all of sudden.

1.A.
Would not it be faster not to enumerate for large mailboxes (30-40GB -
Maildir)? Is it possible to add a switch, to select single user
expunge behavior?

2.
Also. expunge does not appear to remove empty mailboxes, is this a bug
or intentional? If intentional, why? Any way to automated removal of
empty mailboxes?


Thank you
