[Dovecot] Doveadm?

[Gedalya]

doveadm search -u jane.doe at example.org mailbox INBOX | cut -d" " -f2 | 
head -n -200 | tr '\n' , | xargs -n1 doveadm expunge -u 
jane.doe at example.org mailbox INBOX uid

basically, get all uid's and use head to cut out all but the last 200, 
turn that into a comma separated list, and pass to dovadm expunge.

Test it first!
