I've got a pair of programs that might help. One does a command for
all email-using users. Another converts a single mailbox into a
maildir, and sets the file's timestamp to that in the From_ line of
the message. You might want to change it to check the access time on
the Mailbox, and delete any mail older than that, once it finishes
converting them.
