Perhaps I'm missing the goal, but if you just want to occasionally
clean out your trash, why not let Mutt do it?
Here's my (admittedly quick and dirty) trash maintenance stuff, with
lots reused [i.e. stolen :-] from earlier postings to the list:
## Delete messages to the trash can rather than bit-bucket, unless
## we're in the trash folder.
folder-hook . macro index d "<save-message>~/tmp/.mail_trash<enter>y"
folder-hook . macro pager d "<save-message>~/tmp/.mail_trash<enter>y"
folder-hook mail_trash macro index d "<delete-message>"
folder-hook mail_trash macro pager d "<delete-message>"
# When we go into to the trash folder, tag stuff greater than 30
# days old. Don't mark anything that's already flagged, though.
folder-hook mail_trash push 'T~r>30d!~F\n'
So all one needs to do is occasionally (I probably do it weekly just
to drag something back out) visit your trash folder, then before
leaving, mark the tagged messages as deleted.
It scares me a bit to have something other than a "mail" program
dinking with my mailboxes...
