I have 'set header_cache=~/.mutt/cache/'.
I don't have set header_cache set for the good reason that mutt doesn't
download mail from anywhere, it's all here on my desktop.

From time to time I simply delete the whole contents of my ~/.mutt/cache
directory to keep it a bit more efficient. A kind of prune function

If so I don't tend to leave mutt running all the time, I assume it

Unfortunately, for header caches, "refreshing" do

I do, and I try to be ruthless doing it. Since I copy every single piece
of email into my IMAP 'bak' mailfolder, where it sits for 180 days
before it is automatically deleted, I make s

That should be fine. The only caveat is header caching. If you
delete messages outside of mutt, those messages won't be removed from
the header cache. Probably not a big deal for "junk catching"
folders, but once in a while you may want to regenerate you

that.

May I ask why? I mean, how many tens of GB of mail do you get each year so that
it is necessary to delete stuff?

This isn't specifically mutt but it's definitely to do with managing
mail and there's lots of knowledgeable people here.
I currently have the following two lines in my crontab to delete old
mails in my junk catching directories, is it OK/safe to do it like
this?
