There isn't any Cyrus utility to do this (ipurge is the closest), so 
you're best bet is to write a Perl script that uses the following IMAP 
commands:

SELECT inbox
SEARCH SINCE <date>
COPY <seq> <mbox>
STORE <seq> +flags \deleted
EXPUNGE

Of course, you'll have to check the Perl module and/or RFC 3501 for the 
correct syntax.
