So, don't move them out of the spool.  "set move=no" ought to do that.

Mutt has a tag-prefix command (";" by default) which causes the
following command to apply to all tagged messages.  So, if you press
"s", the current message is saved.  If you press ";s", then all tagged
messages will be saved.

So, press the "d" key as you read them, and they will be marked for
deletion as you go through them.  Simple.

If you want to "exit" a folder, you need to be "going" someplace else. 
You either (c)hange to another folder, or you (q)uit Mutt entirely. 
Your choice.

By the way, you don't have to type "/var/spool/mail/$USER", you can
simply give the shortcut "!" instead.

    set copy=yes
    set record=+saved

You tell me.  :)
