Assuming this is the task you could also use:

Play around with the scope a bit before you actually run it:
$ doveadm search -u jane.doe@example.org before 2012-02-01 unseen | wc -l
Of course this was supposed to read 'seen' :/
Maybe so, maybe not. I've seen people with over 2GB of unread mail in their inbox alone. Subscribed to dozens of mailing lists, and just not reading 95% of all incoming email.
Don't know how pop handles 'leave on server' with regard to mail storage. Will messages loose their 'unseen' state when doing something like a TOP msgnumber maxint or something similar? Will messages loose their 'unseen' state when an RSET is issued after downloading?
If you don't want people to keep a lot of mail in popboxes, quota and sending out warning messages would be the better way to handle this, I think. Applying 'magic' to customer's email might not be seen as a very polite action.
Just my 2 cents..
