mutt is able to delete selections based on date and/or regex
look in the fine manual for tagging and selection
/usr/share/doc/packages/mutt/manual.txt.gz
sections:
3. Patterns: Searching, Limiting and Tagging
4. Advanced Usage
1. Character Set Handling
2. Regular Expressions
3. Patterns: Searching, Limiting and Tagging
3.1. Pattern Modifier
3.2. Simple Searches
3.3. Nesting and Boolean Operators
3.4. Searching by Date
4. Using Tags
And you probably have not turned threading on.
