dbmail-util doesn't change mail that's status 1 to status 2, that's what
happens when your pop3 client DELEtes a message or imap EXPUNGEs.  Once
a message is already status 2, dbmail-util will roll it to status 3 in
one run and actually delete it out on the next.

  Usually just run it nightly, and it'll delete the previous day's mail,
while changing all the status 2 from today to status 3 (thereby giving
you a recovery window if it's really important to un-delete a message).
