It there a management utility that will allow me to Purge Users Mail or setup auto reply with out having to login as them?

Courier has no central user management utility. However, I've been successuful using virtual user's and symlinks. I have a user in my LDAP database that does not have a home directory of his own, instead I simply use a few scripts that make a symlink for this user to the user's mailbox I'd like to manage, works pretty well but only if you're using virtual users.

Also if you forward mail to a different mail box can that email be received?

Huh? That would be the point of forwarding yes, if you mean can a copy be sent to another email and still be retained then yes, take a look at .mailfilter, maildrop and the cc function.

How can I check how much mail is in each mail box a count and space used?

du -sc /var/maildir/* | sort -nr > sizes.txt

gives me a quick report of who's using the most space, whose approaching their 50M quota, etc.
