After researching the archives a bit (pity people have to top-post) I
found some information regarding the % character and teh * character.

The % character is a wildcard for just the username part and the * is a
wildcard for everything up to the folder. So my command is

ipurge -f -b 1 "*/Deleted Items" "*/Junk E-mail"
