nnmairix doesn't find fancy-expired Mails

Hello to all

I have installed nnmairix (version 0.4) today. It's working ok all by
all. But mairix doesn't seem to find emails which have expired
already. I use fancy-expire like this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq nnmail-expiry-target 'nnmail-fancy-expiry-target
       nnmail-fancy-expiry-targets
       '(("to" "debian" "nnml:debian-expired.%Y.%b")
         ("cc" "debian" "nnml:debian-expired.%Y.%b")
         ("from" ".*" "nnml:inbox-expired.%Y.%b")))

(setq nnmail-expiry-wait 31)

(setq gnus-auto-expirable-newsgroups
      "debian-liste\\|inbox")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

So, emails expire after 31 days and don't get deleted but are stored in
folders called, for example, ~/Mail/inbox-expired/2007/Sep/.

My .mairixrc includes these folders and reads like this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
base=~/Mail
mformat=mh
database=~/.mairixdb
mh=archive/sent/*
mh=debian-liste
mh=inbox
mh=debian-expired/*
mh=inbox-expired/*
omit=zz_mairix-*
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Seems ok to me. But a mairix-search results in only a few recent
messages. I think these are the un-expired messages that match the
search. 

What have I done wrong? Of course I want all old messages to be found
by a mairix-search as well.

Thanks for help

Sven

It's definitely a mairix problem and has nothing to do with
nnmairix.el. When I update the database in verbose mode I can see that
only ~/Mail/inbox is updated. I just don't know why. I have already
deleted the mairix-database and created it anew. But with the same
result. 

It's the wrong mailgroup, now. But if anyone has a hint, I would be
glad.

Greetings

Try it with

mh=inbox-expired/*...

From the mairixrc man-page:

"Any entry that ends `...' is recursively scanned to find any Maildir
folders underneath it."

Hope that helps,

I've tried it already. I even tried mh=*...

Nothing works. But it takes a little longer for mairix to compile the
database if I put mh=*... into the rc-file. So, I think mairix scans
all the folders. But it seems that it simply doesn't recognize the
files in the other folders to be mails.

I tried it today with a similar setup to the one you posted (i.e. fancy
nnml expiry into folders of the form Year/Month) and it works. Could you
try your setup with a minimal .mairixrc like

base=~/Mail
mformat=mh
database=~/.mairixdb
mh=debian-expired/*...
omit=zz_mairix-*

Delete any existing .mairixdb and run mairix on the command line in
verbose mode (-v) and without the -F or -Q option. It should give you a
pretty detailed analysis of what messages are scanned and how many
tokens were found. You can also dump the database afterwards with "-d"
to stdout.

I have done this already. Here is the output.

$ rm ~/.mairixdb
$ mairix -v
Finding all currently existing messages...
Starting new database
0 newly dead messages, 0 messages now dead in total
No new messages found

The .mairixrc looked exactly like the one cited above.

The same with a more exact position of only one mailbox:

base=~/Mail
mformat=mh
database=~/.mairixdb
mh=debian-expired/2007/Nov
omit=zz_mairix-*

Mairix just seems not to recognize the Files in
~/Mail/debian-expired/2007/Nov to be emails.

I have tried swish-e as backend to index mails following the Howto
From http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/emacs-en/IndexMail. Swish itself
works without problems with all folders.

Thanks for your help.

Greetings
