My ultimate goal is to have a way to automate the email deletion process of emails stored in the user inbox or mail folders when it reaches a specified date.  My boss wants to force users to keep emails only a month old anything beyond that will be deleted.  Has anyone done this using dovecot and are there any guides available?  I am also open to suggestions for commercial solutions but so far searching online for solutions only comes up with email archiving.

Something like

doveadm expunge -A mailbox '*' savedbefore 1m

should do that, depending on your userdb. But check with doveadm search 
before expunging anything!
