I've been searching for a (long) while trying to discover why the Trash folders of several user accounts auto-delete everything over 14 days. Preferred setting would be never (or a long time) and let the users manage this.
Several times, I've gone looking at the Mail configuration settings of devices, iPhone, iPad, MacBook. These are all set to delete from Trash: never.
In this Dovecot documentation, there is a description of autoexpunge, but I don't see how to set that in my DirectAdmin Dovecot configuration file (whichever one that might be).
Dovecot version 2.3.19
/etc/dovecot/conf/namespace_private.conf
