Cool, thanks for using offlineImap. No, a fetchmail-type of service is
not implemented, although it would actually not be too difficult to
implement.

You could do something like this by setting "maxage" which ignores older
messages and then deleting old/read messages on the server that are
older using a tool like imapfilter or so. But it would probably be
easier to simply use fetchmail et al for the use case.
