So I then tried:

   doveadm expunge -A MAILBOX * DELETED BEFORE 5d

and got back:

   Fatal: Unknown argument BOOT run-parts: /etc/cron.hourly/dovecot-cleanup exited with return code 75

How can I run it for all mailbox folders without specifying them individually? You need to quote the mailbox. This should work, i tested it with doveadm search

doveadm expunge -A mailbox '*' deleted before 5d

Thanks. I was literally typing the answer when you replied as cron.hourly (for testing) had just run OK.
