In that case if tag-prefix-end (suggested name for end_cond) is present
then tag-prefix should act as tag-prefix-cond else as current
tag-prefix.

Agreed. Right I have settled for this as it keeps my folders clean of
deleted messages but also keep them for a month in case I need any.
But naturally there are more than one way to do something and better in
mutt.

See I just started using mutt about a couple of months back. Configuring
it was a pain and a pleasure both. It took me quite a long time to
understand the hooks as the manual doesn't give much examples. What I
have learnt is from reading the going on in the list and I have found
it really great. I still have to figure out how to move deleted messages
form the folder dir to Trash on folder-exit. If possible give an ex.
