Are the timestamps wrong in the database? They should contain the timestamp of the oldest save-date of message in the mailbox. Also check that the save-dates are as expected in the mailbox itself: doveadm fetch -u user@domain date.saved mailbox Trash 1 And finally, I added some more helpful error and debug logging (which you'll get with doveadm -D): http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.0/raw-rev/9862e8388a1c
