ipurge difficulties

[Javier Angulo]

# sudo -u cyrus /usr/local/cyrus/sbin/ipurge -v -f -d 35
'user/x/INBOX^Trash'
# echo $?
0
What is happening here?

Probably you have to use a '.' instead of '^'

try:
# sudo -u cyrus /usr/local/cyrus/sbin/ipurge -v -f -d 35
'user/*/INBOX.Trash'

Cheers,
Javier.

Thank you. That was it exactly.
My next question is: Why did the conversion to imap3 ignore users'
existing Trash folder and create a new folder named INBOX^Trash for
everyone; and likewise with Drafts and Sent?

mmm we have upgraded quite a few mailboxes and never had that thing.
Just speculating but could be related to new defaults

unixhierarchysep: on
altnamespace: on

We had both on before upgrading.
