I've never been aware of such a thing.  Easiest would prob be what you've
already done/has been suggested.... create a search folder that matches
messages that match your purge criteria, 
select the folder, <ctrl-a> <delete> <ctrl-e>

Create a filter to move the email to where there is more space.
Move it to a locally stored folder, or to an NFS mounted one, etc.

No argument here.

To my knowledge, it should show up under Search Folders.
