The inefficiency of compiling a list of folders and expunging from each 
single one seems quite minor to me. That is, as it seems, when "expunge" 
search-query requires a real mailbox/folder name.

Maybe you can "doveadm move" selected messages to a /fresh/ folder and 
then expunge that one completely? Slightly less efficient, easier to 
script though all the time.
