I'm considering switching over to ams for my mail reader.

Is there a way to automatically clean out mail messages older then a
certain age from ams folders?

I currently do this using a program I've written which handles MH style
folders and /usr/ucb/mail style folders.  It reads a control file to
determine the "age" for various folders and a default age for folders
not listed in the control file.  Empty folders are removed.

What's a good way to do this for ams?  Is there an "already built" ams
tool which can do this?
