Yes - take a look at the "expire" plugin: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins

That shouldn't be.  If you're using Dovecot for both POP3 and IMAP, your 
mail client will be able to see all the mail no matter which protocol you 
access it with.

However, your mail client may be ignoring mail that's been "Seen".  I'm not 
sure why courier would behave differently with this.

Have you read the migration guide? http://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration/Courier
