Hi I have done some test. If I use a webmail as roundcube to read mail mails, when I erase a mail from Inbox and after that from trash.the command. /usr/local/dovecot/bin/doveadm dump /var/vmail1/example.org/user/mdbox/storage/|grep 'ref.*\b0\b' show mail with ref count=0
- ext 3 ref : 0 (0000) - ext 3 ref : 0 (0000) - ext 3 ref : 0 (0000) - ext 3 ref : 0 (0000) - ext 3 ref : 0 (0000) - ext 3 ref : 0 (0000) - ext 3 ref : 0 (0000) - ext 3 ref : 0 (0000) - ext 3 ref : 0 (0000) - ext 3 ref : 0 (0000) - ext 3 ref : 0 (0000) - ext 3 ref : 0 (0000) - ext 3 ref : 0 (0000) But if I erase mail from Mozilla Thunderbird then I find no mail with ref count=0 and doveadm purge does nothing. It is strange I thought thunderbird was a good mail client. My thunderbird is up to date.
