I got a surprise today when I tried the doveadm search function from:

[0:root@elmo ~]$ doveadm search -A mailbox Trash savedbefore 30d

I wouldn't think the search function (or any operation) would try to create
mailboxes. These are system user ids
that don't have or need mailboxes.
Is this correct?
It's intentional and difficult to change. If you're using system users, you can
restrict the list of users that apply to -A. I think just setting
first_valid_uid high enough to not match system users' UIDs will solve it.
Yes, I'll probably change my first_valid_uid to a higher number. Currently vmail is 399 since I've been running Linux for ages.
Thankfully there is 'find'. Gotta change the MySQL table too.
I really do appreciate Dovecot and all the work that goes into it. That being said, I don't think 'search' should create any
files or directories. I just wanted to see how much trash is on the system. If you wanted to check 'CorpNews' which a few
users have, after running 'search' now everyone has it.
The man page doesn't mention that 'search' updates anything.
I provide this feedback because Dovecot is great software and want it to
continue to be.
BTW, now I have:
