Deleting old maildir messages, is what I'm doing OK?

The other thing of note here is that these are mbox folders (like many 
of my less visited folders, for compactness). You could just move them 
sideways and remove "old" sideways folders? I guess that works for 
Maildir too, now that I think about it.
