Confused about Deleted and Expunged

[Michael Menge]

Hi

I suspect a confusion about "marked as Deleted", Expunged and Expired

See  
https://www.cyrusimap.org/imap/reference/faqs/o-deleted-expired-expunged-purged.html
of more information.

E-Mails "marked as Deleted" need to be Expunged by the imap
EXPUNGE or UID EXPUNGE command.

The cyr_expire cmd is for removing Expunged mails from the index and disk
if  "expunge_mode: delayed" is used, which is the default since 2.5

You may want to take a look at the "/vendor/cmu/cyrus-imapd/expire"  
mailbox annotation



Quoting Adam Tauno Williams <awilliam at whitemice.org>:

>> The result is the same, no files were deleted, the log file entry is

>> Can anybody confirm this "/usr/sbin/cyrus expire [..]" command on
