The clock for these messages is based on the time it was moved into that

Maybe this is what is confusing you?
So, if you have issue the command to remove messages older than 7 days,
that would be 7 days *since they were moved into the folder*.
Charles,
thanks
these are a user+spam spam basket, the actual messages are either in 'new'
or 'cur', depending if a particular user logged to 'spam' basket or not
does that mean that say 7 days would clear new messages after 7 days, and,
any message that is not 'new' after 7 more days, assuming I run the
command daily ?
all I want is an auto way to clear +spam baskets after x days
I'm not sure I understand your question...
Again, the date.saved is the date/tome the message was moved into the
folder, and has nothing to do with the date the message was received or
the date/time in the message header.
So, as long as the date.saved date/time is not older than the date/time
you are searching on, then they will not be deleted.
