Description: archive and compress or delete your old email
 Archivemail moves old mail out of a mailbox (in Maildir, MH, or mbox format, or
 via IMAP) and archives it in a compressed mbox-format mailbox file. It 
is well
 suited to be run from cron for automatic archiving of your old mail.
 Archivemail can also just delete old mail so it is useful for cleaning up
 mailing list or spam mailboxes.

Lifted that from aptitude show archivemail. This is perfect, exactly 
what I was after! Thanks Brian!
