After doing another test, I can confirm that for me the auto-purge works exactly like I described above and that the notice shown is lying. :-)

I put two one-year-old mail in trash and pinned one of them. My trash folder has set an auto-purge interval of seven days. The next day the unpinned mail was gone, the pinned one was still there.


So to me it seems like Fastmail is scanning all auto-purge folders once a day for mails that are older than the time set for deletion, no matter when the mail has been put into the folder. Pinned messages aren’t deleted at all.


I’ve raised a ticket about that – let’s see what will happen…
