I haven't been following this thread, but there is another
format of the find command that I use:
find ~/Maildir -type f -mtime +7 -ok rm -f {} \;
This does the same as below, except that by using '-ok'
instead of '-exec' (exec is similar to xargs in it's
function), the shell will prompt you for confirmation
before actually removing matched files.

E.g.
find ~/Maildir -type f -mtime +7 | xargs rm -f
Just a warning: think twice before you type. The above command WILL
DELETE messages older than 7 days in your Inbox and ALL folders.
