Continuing testing. Examining the mail folder on disk using 'ls
-alrt' reveals:
Delete a message from Inbox (moves to Trash). Only file that updates
is 'dovecot.map.index.log' - and grows in size
Perform 'Empty Trash'. Again, only 'dovecot.map.index.log' updates -
and grows in size
doveadm dump ... reveals - no output
So at the moment - I'm not losing mail, but I can't get rid of stuff
I've deleted! Once it's in mdbox - it's there forever! :)
Further testing - did I mention I'm using Thunderbird for my client?
Just for fun - I used a webmail client (Roundcube) to check - and I saw
a whole bunch of deleted messages in...the Inbox!
Hmm...went back to Thunderbird, performed 'Compact' on the INBOX - not
the Trash this time - saw significant changes in index files. Doveadm
dump output now has results too! Tried doveadm purge - I still see no
output from the -D parameter - but the mail store is compacted to a
fraction of what it was. I don't know if -D or -v are supposed to
provide much - but for me, I'm not seeing ANY (besides the skipped
module messages).
So...doveadm purge works if the dumb user uses his dumber client
properly (P.S. - might want to add a wiki note about this). Back to the
original question - is 'doveadm -v/-D purge' supposed to have any
significant output?
