My experience is that it does work. As long as the folder in question
is set to remove old messages on exit, they are deleted when TB! is
shut down. Otherwise you regularly need to invoke purge and compress
manually for that folder.

In folders that I limit by date, the oldest messages (except unread or
parked messages) are always the correct age give or take a day.

I don't currently have any folders limited by number of messages. I
used to, and often they contained a few extra messages but nothing
drastic. Whenever I checked, the oldest messages downloaded at the
same time were similar in number to the extra messages counted; it
never bothered me enough to investigate further, so that could be
coincidence.

I   just   did.I set the folder to hold only 10 msgs and to delete
any message older than 10 days.  Maintenance deleted one message only, leaving 
50 others, dating
back  to  August, 2009.

I broke this down:

I set the maximum number of messages to 10 and left the message age
box blank.  I ran the maintenance center. It deleted one message only,
leaving 49 others.

Then I set the age box to 10 days leaving the maximum number of
messages box unchedked. I ran maintenance again. It deleted only one
message, leaving 48.

I'm using TheBat! 4.2.36.4.

Sigh...

It  does in 4.2.33.1 Beta (which I did return to because some things did not 
work in later versions. I don't know about
this particular feature, because I don't use it normally, only tried it after 
reading this thread).

I  did  not  save  earlier  messages, so I don't know wether you and/or others 
checked Purge Old/Exceeding Messages in
Folder/Maintenance Center?

Anyway, both (number/age) features work as expected...
