If you want to use standard unix commands in a shell script, then something
like the following will do you (YMMV, this is untested, no warranty, user
serviceable parts inside, so get a screwdriver, etc):
---begin unix101.sh---
#!/bin/ksh
NUMDAYS=60 # Let's just assume approximately 2 months.
find $path_to_maildir -type f -ctime +${NUMDAYS} | xargs -n 1000 rm
---end unix101.sh---
If you only want to delete read messages, then put in $path_to_maildir/cur
instead. Run from cron on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.

The 5 year plan:
In five years we'll make up another plan.
Or just re-use this one.
