Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/modoboa/modoboa/issues/1988

Impacted versions

Modoboa: 1.15.0
installer used: Yes
Webserver: Nginx

Steps to reproduce

doveadm search -A mailbox Trash savedbefore 14d

Current behavior

command prints info message:
doveadm(): Info: User no longer exists, skipping

Expected behavior

no bogus info/warning/error message should occur

Resolution suggestion:

default admin and other global admin users can be saved without email address, resulting in dovecot iterate_query resulting empty user:

MariaDB [modoboa]> SELECT username, email AS user FROM core_user;
+---------------------------+---------------------------+
| username                  | user                      |
+---------------------------+---------------------------+
| admin                     |                           |

This can be bypassed by altering the iterate_query in /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext to require the email field to be set:
iterate_query = SELECT email AS user FROM core_user WHERE email != ''

Is this applicable or would this break other functionality?

@neonknight Can tell me how you created an admin without password?

@neonknight I think user query used to include such a filter but there was a problem with it. Unfortunately, I can't remember which one...
