IMAPExpire is a Perl script that will connect via IMAP and delete messages from
specified folders over a certain age. It relies on a single third party Perl
module to be installed from CPAN named IMAP::Client.

Example 1: Delete all messages older than 7 days from all folders directly
beneath (and including) the INBOX folder.

IMAPExpire --user username --pass password --folders "INBOX" "INBOX/%" --age 7

Run the application with no arguments to see a description of all of the
options:

Required arguments:
   --user username         : The username to log in to IMAP with
   --pass password         : The password to log in to IMAP with
   --passfile file         : An alternative to --pass. File contains the password
   --folders f1 f2         : A list of folder search strings to find the folders
   --age num               : Delete emails over num days old

Optional arguments:
   --debug num             : Set a debug level from 1-9

                           : don't need it)
   --test                  : Just display what *would* happen. Don't do the deletions
