ipurge test mode? analysis by date

[Alain Spineux]

find is your friend here.
man find
Their is a lot of options about size and time.
This will not give you the total size of email, but you can make the sum using
some additional scripting.

Be careful if you use singleinstancestore: 1 in imapd.conf and the suitable
configuration in your SMTP, some email delivered to multiple mailbox
are stored only once on the filesystem. find will report any links to
these emails
and you will count them twice or more.
