I use archivemail against my imap server to keep my mailing lists
trimmed to just the past 2 weeks worth of messages

I just have the following in my crontab:

#  m   h  dom mon dow command
# auto archive debian-user messages over 14 days old
   40  8   *   *   *  archivemail -q -d 14 --delete imap://mrroach:password@okmaybe.com/INBOX.debian-user
