DATESTR=$(date --date='TZ="UTC" 0 2 week ago' +'%d-%b-%Y')
doveadm expunge -u <user> mailbox Trash before ${DATESTR}
Adjust to taste. And careful with expunge if you run it on other mailboxes
than Junk and Trash. Always qualify the search with 'deleted' when you do
that.
Use 'doveadm search -u <user> mailbox ...' to make sure that you see what
you expect to see from the query before you put the search string to use
in an expunge. doveadm-search and doveadm-search-query man pages were
helpful when I was learning this.
