Some servers support this, but I'm not aware of any clients that do. If you learn of any, please let me know. The idea is that if the user says "leave on server for 30 days" and the servers says (via CAPA) that messages are deleted after 5 days, the client could warn the user that mail probably won't be around as long as expected. The same concept applies to the login-delay and other such server policy CAPA tags.
