 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 
would be neat, although perhaps it's too resource intensive and that's 
why it hasn't been implemented?  Rebuilding the cache after deleting the 
whole thing doesn't seem too bad to me, as it's done maildir by maildir 
when being accessed next, so I think it's fine.

Cheers,
Ángel
