- Beside the "Sent" folder I could need some help with some sort of
automatic deletion of mails in defined (Mailinglist) folders.
In the past I just ran a find on my local system to find files
older lets say 3 month and delete them from those directories. Now it
would be cool if IMP could do this for me after magically setting this
up somehow. Is it possible or does someone know how to achive this
easily?

Nothing automatic that I know of. I guess you could just do a search based on the date using IMP.

I tried this, but I'm getting strange result. When I search for mails in a
large folder older 1st of January 2011, I'm getting for example mails from
June 2010. When I now search for mails older 1st December 2010, I'm getting
no mails displayed at all. This looks like a bug to me?!

Sounds like you are searching by INTERNALDATE rather than the header Date value.

Beside that - does someone know how to easily delete mails from specific IMAP
folders older than XXX days? I know I could use find(1), but I would prefer an IMAP solution. Beside that I don't like to take a look on the file date (which
I would when I use find(1)). I would prefer to respect the Date: header. Why?
Many of my mails are "imported" by imap_append and have a file date not matching
the Date: header.

See above (and RFC 3501 [6.4.4]). You want to do a SENTBEFORE search (IMAP 4). However, c-client is limited to IMAP 2 searches, which does not contain this option.
