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.
