dovecot - Sep 2013 - doveadm expunge problems

Hello there,

I'm trying to use the doveadm expunge function, but it doesn't seems to
work..

I have installed a mail test server using iredmail, Dovecot and postfix
using mysql for authentications.

I sent a email to this server, and change the timestamp using touch.

the mail boxes are as follow :
/home/mail/vmail1/mydomain.fr/n/i/c/nicolas-2013.09.05.14.30.49/Maildir

I want to delete mails that are, let's say, 1day old from the
"Junk" folder.
(I put the mail I changed the date in it).

I run this command :
doveadm -Dv expunge -u nicolas at mydomain.fr mailbox "Junk"
savedbefore 1d

The mail is still in the "Junk" folder, and I have this output :

root at mail:/home/mail/vmail1# doveadm -Dv expunge -u nicolas at mydomain.fr
mailbox "Junk" savedbefore 1d

I don't understand, the output seems to be OK, except loading modules at the
begining, but I think there's no effect to expunge command...

Anyone to help me, please ?

Thnaks in advance

Nicolas

I just tried the doveadm search command :

doveadm search -u *@mydomain.fr MAILBOX Junk : this command lists all emails
in Junk users folders : OK

doveadm search -u *@mydomain.fr MAILBOX Junk savedbefore 1d : don't lists
anything..

What am I missed ?

Is this the good way to change file date (touch) and by this way, have
results to savedbefore command ?

Thanks

No.  The date.saved value is (I think) stored in its indices, and
is updated via IMAP operations.  This value is not derived from file
timestamps.  You can use doveadm fetch to get the values that dovecot uses

 	 dovecot -ftab fetch -A 'mailbox date.saved' mailbox Junk

If you actually use IMAP operations to move messages from INBOX to Junk,
I think you'll find that date.saved reflects the correct value.
