 I do caching of headers and bodies in my .muttrc:

 set header_cache="~/.mutt/cache/headers"
 set message_cachedir="~/.mutt/cache/bodies"

 If a network problem occurs during download a message over IMAPS
 (happens sometimes when using public WLAN), the message remains
 empty, even if the network is restored. It seems, that the empty
 message is cached even if there was an error. IMHO, mutt should
 not cache messages in case of a network glitch. My workaround is:

 $ find .mutt/cache/ -size 0 -exec rm {} \;
