Summary: Support for automatic setuid

Initial Comment:
As described in the bug #3063535 (is owned by someone else!) archivemail version 0.7.2+ does not do setuid when archivemail is run by root and the target mailbox is owned by someone else. I need this functionality.

My mail server is configured so that spam messages are automatically moved to a spam folder for each users. I want to use archivemail to delete old messages from each user's spam folder like this:
archivemail --days=30 --delete --include-flagged /home/*/Mail/Spam
but I get "/home/username/Mail/Spam is owned by someone else!" error.
