dovecot - May 2016 - autoexpunge wildcard mailbox from userdb

Was excited to see that wildcards are now possible on autoexpunge in the 
2.2.24 release.

However I'm trying to configure these from the userdb lookup and it 
doesn't appear to be working.

if I set in 15-mailboxes.conf
mailbox Trash/* {
...
    autoexpunge = 10m
}

everything works..

however if I return

=namespace/inbox/mailbox/Trash/*/autoexpunge=10m

via userdb - it does not.


Logs say:


Debug: Unknown userdb setting: 
plugin/namespace/inbox/mailbox/Trash/*/autoexpunge=10m


Is what I am trying to do even possible?

Thanks

Leon

Using "/" in the namespace name conflicts with the "/"
separator, so it needs to be escaped. You can use "doveconf -n -S" to
find out what the escaping needs to look like ("/" = "\s").

Thanks Timo - that's what I was missing.

Another thing - will it ever be possible to wildcard *all* mailboxes?

My setup doesn't specify prefix = INBOX/ on "namespace inbox"...
without
knowing all of the root mailboxes users have created is it possible to 
autoexpunge these?

This obviously does not work
=namespace/inbox/mailbox/\s*/autoexpunge=90d
