A bug in expire-tool? expire-tool should have been looking at save-date, which with maildir is taken from the file's ctime. So I don't know why a Date: header would have caused any of this.. Anyway, v2.0 has this feature entirely rewritten.
Re: [Dovecot] expire-tool skipping mailbox
I resolved this issue by deleting some messages from my Junk mailbox which had
Date headers long in the past and future, despite being very old. It appears to
me that expire-tool quit when a message had a Date header forged to be
non-expired, despite the message being old enough to have been expired. A bug
in expire-tool?

Hello,
I have dovecot set up with expire-tool to nuke Junk messages greater than 30

However, on my user account, expire-tool skips my Junk folder entirely,
despite it containing messages from January of this year. Here is the
expire-tool --test output:

Then it skips to the next mailbox. (Note that I intentionally set the
timestamp back to force it to consider my mailbox.) I don't understand why it
doesn't want to expunge my 2700 junk messages when it will expunge several
thousand in other accounts happily. The expire plugin has been enabled for
probably over a year, so all of the messages should be tracked.
My only hypothesis is that it has something to do with variables in the
mail_location; however, mail_location should be overridden by a user_query,
though that contains variables too. Would this account for the issue? It
seems unlikely, since other users on the server work just fine.
