I know how to do from pine, but i wouyld have preferred to have something
invoked at deliveri time, that is:
a message is arrived !
are in the box messages older than 3 months ?
if so delte them, then deliver the new message.

This way if one user does not receive any message, for an extended period
the last message is always present !
