I've been asked by a user whether it's possible to stop their IMAP client downloading messages older than a given date.

Whilst I'm guessing it may well be possible to do this client-side using folders and subscriptions, it got me thinking .... is there a way to do this server side on dovecot ? i.e. is there a way to "hide" messages from a user without having to archive them off into a seperate account ?

Sounds like virtual folders - create virtual folder with contains only messages fullfiling criteria, maybe hide somehow original folder, let user subscribe virtual folder. http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Virtual
