Huh, it certainly did for me, although I used "all" instead of
"savedbefore 30d" since I just wanted to empty the trash. What
version of Dovecot? Mine is 2.2.27.
Well, not for me.
doveadm search -u user@domain ALL savedbefore 2d
-- returns some messages
doveadm expunge -u user@domain mailbox '*' savedbefore 2d
-- nothing shown, but no error
doveadm search -u user@domain ALL savedbefore 2d
-- returns the same messages as before
I've got 2.2.9 (Ubuntu package for 14.04)
I guess that's reasonable for a critical application, but normally I
would expect an IMAP client to request headers-only, or just recent
messages. My phone's K9 client defaults to something like 2 weeks.
Right. But your phone has 100s of kbps or even Mbps of bandwidth, full
duplex. But when multiple users are sharing a simplex 56kbps radio channel,
even just the headers of old/irrelevant mail are to be avoided.

ok, i did setup a test, and these are the results ;)

maybe the debug option '-D' gives a clue why it failes on your site?
doveadm -D expunge -u user@domain mailbox '*' savedbefore 2d
