maxage only works for flags?

Thanks for the reply Mike.

Here's the config I'm using now. I switched it to IMAP->IMAP and tried if from
both sides and it runs. Previously, I was doing IMAP->Maildir from my home
machine only, thus the commented out lines. I just switched [Repository
Remote]/[Repository Local] to run it from my office machine.   

In any case the maxage is ignored. I thought maybe "age" was being determined in
someway I didn't understand so I tried maxsize to see if that worked and it also
was ignored.

Both machines are recent Ubuntu 10/64bit installs. 

I'd really like to figure this out as OfflineIMAP would be great if I can get it
to ignore old/large email.

Thanks.
