First, extract user list using doveadm users '*'. Then process this list to fit your needs (seven parts for a week and a part processed by week day for example). Finally, use -u option of doveadm purge into a loop.
This is a good idea for installations with tons of users. Good point.
I would be personally interested in incremental purge per user. My personal IMAP account, for instance, has at this moment about 40GB of mdbox files. I keep most of my email for decades, but sure I could free some space doing a purge, but I am scared of trying with 200.000 mdbox files without knowing how long it would take.

This is why it's a good idea to run purge periodically, like once a month or even week.
