----
you can probably use ipurge/cyrus.conf to do that like I do with each
users SPAMBOX after 7 days...

  # purge SPAMBOX messages over 7 days old
  purgebulk   cmd="ipurge -f -d  7 user.*.SPAMBOX" at=230

just change the folder semantics and I'd probably increase the time from
7 days to 30 days just in case...
