I'm interested in replacing my cron script that expunges old

To use it, I need to specify which mailbox needs them using
the namespace configuration. For example
namespace inbox {
mailbox Trash {
auto = no
special_use = \Trash
autoexpunge = 7d
mailbox_list_index = yes
}
...
mailbox_list_index=yes is a global setting. You can't have it here.
Oh, yes. Thanks for pointing that out. By the way, what does it do? The
wiki states
mailbox_list_index=yes can help a lot by replying to IMAP STATUS
(and similar) lookups from a single index without having to open
each mailbox index separately.
So it create an uber-index that combines information from individual indices?
Are there any drawback to using this?

special_use is independent of the autoexpunge. I guess it wouldn't
necessarily hurt.. but it's also somewhat better to have only a single
\Trash mailbox so clients don't become confused when more than one of
those mailboxes exist.
Got it.
Thanks, Timo.
