----
clipping from 'cyrus.conf'

  # this is only necessary if using duplicate delivery suppression,
  # Sieve or NNTP
  delprune      cmd="cyr_expire -E 3" at=0400

clipping from 'man cyr_expire'

  Cyr_expire  is used to expire messages and duplicate delivery database
  entries.  The expiration of messages is controlled by the /ven-
  dor/cmu/cyrus-imapd/expire mailbox annotation which specifies the age
  (in days) of messages  in  the  given  mailbox  that  should  be
  deleted.  Any duplicate delivery database entries which correspond to
  the mailbox are also deleted at the same frequency.

I haven't had any emails deleted on me so I am guessing that it is the
duplicate delivery database entries.

I am however doing some 'purging' of emails automatically via cyrus
master (cyrus.conf)...

  # prune root messages over 60 days old
  purgebulk   cmd="ipurge -d 60 -f user.root" at=200

  # purge SPAMBOX messages over 7 days old
  purgebulk   cmd="ipurge -f -d  7 */SPAMBOX" at=230
