I use the following in my .muttrc:

# Folder hooks
folder-hook =Junk 'push <delete-pattern>~r>14d<enter>'

This sets to delete mails older than 14 days from my Junk folder any time I open
that folder. This way it allows me to scan all the mails for possible falls
positives without having to worry mail gets lost if I haven't checked it for
more than x days.
