I have this in my .muttrc. It's from some howto, but I don't remember
where:
#
# Tag "old" messages in mailinglists for "expiring" them.
# Simply press "d", after entering one of the folders, iff mutt asks
# "tag-"
#
folder-hook =debian-user$ 'push T~r>3w\n\;' # 1 months
I've never seen a thread active for a month. Arguments could be made
for pushing this back to a week and using the Debian archives for
anything older than that; this generally leaves me with ~2500 messages
in my =debian-user, most of which I ignore, since mutt handles them so
quickly I forget about them.
