This is *way* too hackish for my taste - e.g. the framework patch contains
numerous references to imp's purge_folder code, which obviously we can't
do.

My belief was always that this ticket was envisioning some kind of widget
accessed via the preference page (or maybe an entirely different
maintenance pref page) that would allow one to define the various
parameters needed for each task.  But quite frankly, the maintenance code
was never designed to handle this kind of thing in the first place so
trying to hack a solution is probably not as good of a solution as
reforming the maintenance framework in the first place.

As mentioned in one of my note's for the Horde 4 TODO, i believe the ideal
solution is to have a single login script for all Horde applications
(rather than duplicating code in imp, gollem, etc.).  If this is done, all
maintenance tasks could be done in this login script.
