Autoexpunging tries to be efficient, so it looks only at the first email's saved-timestamp. It's also cached in dovecot.list.index. So you should check: 1. What's the first mail's saved-timestamp? doveadm fetch -u user date.saved mailbox Junk 1 2. That timestamp should also be the same in dovecot.list.index: doveadm mailbox status -u user firstsaved Junk
