If messages are expunged, - is the \Deleted flag cleared? - is there still information registered in what folder/mailbox the message was?
I thought about searching like this, doveadm -o namespace/inbox/location=mdbox_deleted:/home/popusers/testtest/mdbox -o mail_location=mdbox_deleted:/home/popusers/testtest/mdbox:INDEX=/home/popindex/testtest/index search -u testtest mailbox '*' DELETED but also does not do anything. Maybe related to the older 2.2?
