Yes, you can use the "delete-pattern" command with a pattern to
give the oldest messages. E.g. to delete all messages received more
than 20 days ago type "D~r>20d" and enter. Or you can bind the key
sequence to a key with a macro:
macro index E "D~r>20d<enter>" "Expire messages older than 20 days"

No, I don't see how this could be done.
