Automatic removal of messages over NN days present in a folder.

[Wesley Craig]

You're thinking of modifying ipurge to do this?  Sounds like a nice  
idea.  Messages are moved to Trash with COPY, and COPY retains the  
original INTERNALDATE.  However, the last_updated is set to NOW on  
COPY, so that's probably what you want.  ipurge currently supports  
SENTDATE and INTERNALDATE.  A cursory review suggests that adding  
LAST_UPDATED is trivial -- not that I've tested it :)

Is there some reason you're not running 2.3.x?  I'm not aware of any  
plans to make new 2.2.x releases, certainly not for feature  
enhancements.
