I went through the same realization some time ago. Checking my
configuration, I see that I have replaced archivemail with mail-expire:

    https://manpages.debian.org/bookworm/mail-expire/mail-expire.1.en.html

It does not seem to support your requirement to avoid deleting flagged
messages, sadly, but this might be useful to others looking to move
off archivemail.
