Expunging IMAP mailbox via cronjob : possible?

[Garrett Cooper]

    I know this isn't really a FreeBSD question, but I was wondering if 
there was a means available where I can expunge my email automatically 
from my IMAP inboxes / folders (I have a wide variety of custom 
folders). I just find it tedious logging in via SSH to each host with 
pine and expunging the contents of the folder one-by-one, and there's no 
way in hell I'm going to use an M$ based mailclient (Outlook Express, 
Outlook) to do the same.
    Thanks,
