unfortunately that's not true. "ipurge" apparently always works 
recursively. I just tried it on a backup of our server (this is under 
2.2.8):

[cyrus at lvr13 imap]$ ipurge -d 7 -f user/%/Trash

I'd be very happy if somebody offered a patch for ipurge to add 
non-recursiveness as a feature. I took a look at it once, but it was over 
my head.

Cheers, Sebastian Hagedorn
