Some sort of

find user/mark -maxdepth 1 -type f -mtime +100 -exec mv {} 
user/mark/oldmail \;
reconstruct user.mark
reconstruct user.mark.oldmail

could help. I don't know what happens to IMAP flags this way. Maybe the 
IMAP approach would be better, i.e. using Perl to talk IMAP to move your 
mails.
