Here's a simple way that should work: mail_location = mbox:~/mails:INDEX=~/indexes and then you can also drop the mail field from userdb. > Now when running expire-tool --test, I get this: > > Error: Namespace '': Mail storage autodetection failed with > home=/var/spool/dovecotmail/domain/userid/ > Info: User lookup failed: use...@domain > > When I run expire-tool under strace, I can see that it is indeed looking > for the mails in the typical autodetect locations (Maildir, mail, Mail) > under user's home directory.

I think it should have worked and I don't see anything obviously wrong in the code either, but if the mail_location change works for you I don't think I'll bother looking into this. v2.0 solves the whole problem much better.
