If you're using indexes, you could do a find on wherever you store the
indexes and see what the mtime was on it, which would generally
possibly do what you want. a find command with something like:

    find /var/something -name dovecot.index -mtime +180

which would find and print to screen any dovecot indexes that have a
modification time of 180 days or more.  you could pipe this to a file
or awk and get just the username out, assuming the maildir contains
the user's username. Above is a quick example, you may get multiple
output assuming people are using folders.
