What mail account? POP3 with "leave messages on server" and expire means
delete mails older than x months from server? Local mails? IMAP?


For local mails (POP3 without "leave on server") and IMAP there is a simple
way to do this:

Create a vFolder with the IF rule "Date received" "is before" "x months ago"
and specify the folders you wanna apply this or simply all folders. This
vFolder will only show the old messages, which you can delete with
Ctrl+A Ctrl+D whenever you want. HTH
