Simple to solve, there's an app for that! :) Install archivemail.py from
http://archivemail.sourceforge.net/ and run it daily for the users that
have problems with reading their mail, i.e.:

archivemail.py -d 5 --delete /home/.sites/95/site29/.users/76/prop_info/mbox

Maybe you want to increase 5 to 10, but messages older than 10days need
not to be read anyways and as added bonus your users will learn to read
their mail in time ;)

Seriously: The only way I can think of is to patch procmails mailfold.c
to avoid disclosing the path.

Cheers,
Christoph
