I have the following in my .vm in order to prevent BBDB from asking me to add
old addresses when visiting old folders ... 

(setq bbdb-always-add-addresses 'rf-bbdb/vm-ignore-old-addresses)

(defun rf-bbdb/vm-ignore-old-addresses ()
  "Set `bbdb-always-add-addresses' to this function in order to ignore new
addresses in all folders except the `vm-primary-inbox'."
  (if (or (eq major-mode 'vm-mode) (eq major-mode 'vm-virtual-mode))
      (save-excursion
        (vm-select-folder-buffer)
        (if (string= (buffer-name) vm-primary-inbox)
            nil ; ask the user
          'never ; do not add it
          ))
    'never))

You might also write a function to check the date of the messages or anything
other and set `bbdb/mail-auto-create-p' or `bbdb/news-auto-create-p' to it.
