Is there a way to automatically remove mail after it is read within dovecot either through a configuration or plugin?

I'm running the following two packages:

dovecot-core                     1:2.0.19-0ubuntu2     
dovecot-pop3d                    1:2.0.19-0ubuntu2

If I can't remove it automatically, is there perhaps another way for moving read mail to another location automatically.

Thanks

If you have dovecot v2, you are able to use doveadm utility that can do a lot of funny things with letters. Just add to the crontab the next command:

30 3 * * * root /path/to/the/doveadm expunge -A SEEN 2> /dev/null

and all the seen messages will be deleted at 03:30am every day. Redirection of stderr needed because doveadm shows brief report each time and cron will send it by email to the root.
