Hello Eric,
thank you for your further help.
Now I understand the concept of this plugin - great!
The record was created:
username path timestamp
[EMAIL PROTECTED]/Trash 1218029872
AFAIK I have to add "Trash" instead of "INBOX.Trash" when seeing this
record, correct?
Kind regards,
Jens

Hello Eric,
thank you very much for your prompt and helpful reply!
The connect seem to work fine now.
Please allow me two additional questions:
Is it correct that this database-table is only a "caching-table" which
is empty at first and will be filled later? It is not necessary to
adapt the SQL-statement to my user-configuration, is it?!
Correct. The table is filled when the message is moved to one of the
folders that is marked as an Expire folder. That folder is added to the
table with a timestamp like so:
$ echo "select * from mail.expire where path like 'eric%'" | mysql -u
root -p
Enter password:
username path timestamp
[EMAIL PROTECTED]/Junk 1217943338
[EMAIL PROTECTED]/Trash 1217941084
Is it necessary to reference the foldernames with "INBOX.Trash" or
only "Trash"? For Sieve I have to use "INBOX.Trash".
Use INBOX.Trash if the trash folder you're looking to clear out is a
subfolder of your Inbox.
Actually nothing happens when trying the plugin with "dovecot
--exec-mail ext /usr/libexec/dovecot/expire-tool --test".
Do you have the plugin loaded in the imap protocol section?
protocol imap {
...
mail_plugins = fts fts_squat quota imap_quota expire
...
}
If you do then the table should get updated when you move a message into
the trash folder.
If you've got the plugin set correctly and you're still not getting
anything written into the table you can restart mysql with query logging
on:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/query-log.html
Then move a message to one of the expire folders and see what query is run on the database and if it's not succeeding due to an error.
