Default Automating selective cleanup?

Is there any way to write a script or something that will clean/compact
specified OE folders while leaving others intact?

Don't think it's possible. You might try experimenting with the SendKeys
function in VBS to see if you can get to the folders but I don't think it is
possible or actually worth the effort trying.

OETool has a button on it to compact individual folders
(www.oehelp.com/OETool/) and you can compact an individual folder using File
| Folder | Compact. But its important to do a compact all frequently, as
that is the only way to compact the folders.dbx and pop3uidl.dbx files.

He can also program individual mail folder compaction via this interface:
