Sadly, there is no art. No one ever got around to implementing this.
You could do it manually via devel/console.sh (or the in-screen console)
with a little effort.

Something like:

  $ sh devel/console.sh
  > s = SourceManager.source_for "maildir:/WHATEVER"
  > q = Index.parse_query "label:deleted source:#{s.id}"
  > Index.each_id(q) { |id| fn = s.filename_for_id(id); puts "delete #{fn}" }

(You'll have to use the most recent git because I just added the
Maildir#filename_for_id method.)
