dovecot - Jan 2017 - Dynamic autoexpunge for IMAP folders

I know, but it is not present in the string returned by the userdb,
which is set up for testing

userdb {
   driver = static
   args   = namespace/inbox/mailbox/Bla/autoexpunge=6h
}

I'm almost sure that 'driver = static' contradicts the concept of
userdb overrides:

http://wiki.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/ExtraFields

If you can't go with 'passwd-file' style settings, you may able to
achieve this globaly with:

protocol imap {
  namespace inbox {
    location = 
    mailbox Blah {
      autoexpunge = 6h
    }
    prefix = 
  }
}

In any case this is then a global setting rather than one being returned on a
per-user basis.

So, returning from the LDAP userdb does not change situation.
As I said, I would to set folder names dynamicaly, without setting
up a mailbox in advance.
Here the problem is discussed

http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2013-August/092023.html

but no solution is found apart from defining the namespace in the
static config, see here

http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2013-August/092053.html

As I do not know what folders the user might to configure for
autoexpunge, I cannot put the folders into the config.
