Something simpler, that is more specific to the OP's question, is
this:
folder-hook foldername 'push "<delete-pattern>~r>10d<enter>"'
That will delete all messages in the folder "foldername" that are
older than 10 days, BUT it's only triggered whenever you *enter* that
folder. If you never enter that folder, all your old messages will
stay there.
