Good question! I hadn't noticed that one. I wonder when messages
qualifying under "expunge_days" get expunged if cyr_expire is not run or
run with a different value.
Also does expunge_days calculate from when the message was *expunged* or
when the message was *received*. I know there has been questions about
that concerning cyr_expire in the past. The documentation of
expunge_days seem clearer than the text for cyr_expire [of the previous
text for cyr_expire].
man cyr_expire:
Expunge previously deleted messages older than expunge-duration
(when using the "delayed" expunge mode). Format is the same as
delete-duration.
NOTE: "older" than "expunge-duration". At least to me the phrase
"older" seems ambiguous. The documentation for delete-duration
uses the same phrasing.
man imapd.conf
Number of days to retain expunged messages before cleaning up
their index records. The default is 7.
NOTE: "number of days to retain" seems [to me] to clearly mean X
number of days since the message was expunged.
