It might be better, but absent that I have a script called "rm0maildir" which
removes a maildir if it is empty:
http://www.cskk.ezoshosting.com/cs/css/bin/rm0maildir
It uses a few other scripts from the same directory. You could install the
whole lot, or pick and choose what you want.
Of course this isn't integrated into mutt at all, so you'd need to run it by
hand somehow.
