Thanks Robert. Here I go.

My 50-expunge.conf is now exactly as is shown at
https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/lazy_expunge_plugin/ .
After a restart of Dovecot, I see this in the logs:
Jun 05 08:12:07 imap(pete)<19761><KPYfSB8aj4dWH1ne>: Error: Mailbox Deleted
Messages: Lazy-expunge transaction failed: Mailbox Deleted Messages: UID=1
67: lazy_expunge: Couldn't open expunge mailbox: Failed to open mailbox
.EXPUNGED: Invalid mailbox name: Begins with hierarchy separator
Should I specify a different seperator for the .EXPUNGED mailbox?
https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/namespace/#hierarchy-separators
Thanks.
Pete.
