There is no "option" to auto-delete those folders, they are deleted 
whenever possible. The reason they stick around is when there's a 
filesystem problem, and mutt doesn't think the directory is empty.

Let me guess: you're using either vfat or something like sshfs?

It boils down to the fact that some filesystems do not support 
operations that are necessary for safe operation, and give 
inconsistent or unreliable error codes when you try. This is yet 
another reason why using these sorts of filesystems for anything 
important in a unix system is a really bad idea. For more information,
