That doesn't work for me either. The command is accepted, but the messages
are not expunged.
I guess my search/fetch will just have to return the mailbox name, in
addition to other fields, and then I'll need to loop through the mailbox
names and perform multiple expunges for each user. I understand the desire
to avoid accidents by requiring that the mailbox be specified. But if
"mailbox ALL" or "mailbox '*' were allowed, that would still avoid the
accident and yet also avoid the inefficiency of having to perform multiple
expunges for one user.
*** Enhancement request: provide a "mailbox all" or "mailbox '*'" option
for doveadm search_query so that expunge can be used to remove mail without
regard to which mailbox it's in.
How i read the docs here:
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Doveadm/SearchQuery
and here:
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Doveadm/Expunge
Is what i can test, but i will/can not test 'expunge' ...

After this, i think this should work:
daveadm expunge ALL before 1800d
or, in you case:
doveadm expunge -u <user> ALL savedbefore 30d
if this is not working, that this might be a bug?
