Benny, this is similar to how I use MailSteward and not involve it 
directly with my mail accounts. I have a Smart Mailbox that recollects 
mails based on date conditions (older than 3 months, not flagged/unread, 
etc) and then has a Rule that exports to a folder and then moves it to a 
Deleted folder. Then MailSteward daily recollects this messages from the 
folder, not from the mail accounts. This has been working very well for 
me.
